On 13th May this year, India will celebrate the holy day of Akshaya Tritiya. The word ‘Akshay’ means never ending, or ‘inexhaustible’ in Sanskrit. ‘Tritiya’ means the third day. This festival is observed on the third day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaishakh. It’s a day of auspicious beginnings, whether you’re getting married on this day, starting a venture, or buying a home.
It’s A Great Day for Gifting!
Women of all ages have a reason to be especially glad on this day. Do you know why? It’s because any jewellery bought on this holy day is considered very auspicious indeed. Wearing new gold jewellery on this day invites Goddess Laxmi into one’s household. Now you know why women get ecstatic as Akshaya Tritiya gets closer! It’s not just jewellery though. Any gift, say, clothing, books – anything that speaks of new beginnings of life, or knowledge, is considered blessed.
