Akshaya Tritiya To Be Observed On April 30 — Follow These Rituals To Bring Prosperity On This Day

Akshaya Tritiya 2025: Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar. The word Akshaya in Sanskrit means "that which never diminishes." According to Vedic astrology, many lunar and solar tithis can sometimes be omitted or lost during a calendar month, but the Tritiya Tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaishakha never wanes, making it truly "Akshaya."

This day is dedicated to Goddess Parvati, and is considered an Abujh Muhurat, meaning a time so auspicious that any significant activity can be performed without consulting a traditional almanac. Activities such as marriage, engagement, housewarming, starting a new business, and other ventures can be initiated on this day for success and good fortune.
