Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is a highly auspicious day. It is celebrated on the Tritiya tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaishakh.
The day is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi. In the Hindu culture, she is the goddess of wealth, prosperity and good fortune. Drik Panchang states, "Akshaya Tritiya which is also known as Akha Teej is highly auspicious and holy day for Hindu communities. It falls during Shukla Paksha Tritiya in the month of Vaishakha. Akshaya Tritiya falling on a Rohini Nakshatra day with Wednesday is considered very auspicious. The word Akshaya means never diminishing. Hence the benefits of doing any Japa, Yajna, Pitra-Tarpan, Dan-Punya on this day never diminish and remain with the person forever." Buying gold, silver and jewellery on this day is considered very auspicious. However, considering the soaring prices of gold and silver, not everyone can afford to buy them. If that is the case, here are a few things that you should consider buying. Clay Pitcher Buying a new clay pot on Akshaya Tritiya is considered very auspicious. Clay is considered a symbol of Mars and Mercury. Purchasing a new clay pot, filling it with water, and donating it or keeping it at home brings peace of mind and increases concentration in the workplace. Kitchen Utensils and Appliances It is common to buy new kitchen utensils, cookware, and appliances on Akshaya Tritiya. This is because kitchenware is considered extremely auspicious as it represents sustenance, prosperity, and family well-being. Purchasing them on this day is believed to bring prosperity to your household. Gram Lentils Gold is a factor of Jupiter, and gram lentils are also associated with the planet Jupiter. If you cannot buy gold on this day, bring home gram lentils and whole rice. Doing so alleviates financial difficulties and opens new avenues of income. When Is Akshaya Tritiya In 2026?
