Akshaya Tritiya 2025: Date, auspicious timings, significance of Akha Teej — all you need to know
Hindu mythology suggests that Akshaya Tritiya is a day ruled by Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, which is why the birth anniversary of the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu falls on the same day, called Parashurama Jayanti.
According to Drik Panchang, Akshaya Tritiya usually falls on the Shukla Paksha Tritiya day (third day) in the month of Vaishakh, which corresponds to April or May, according to the Gregorian calendar.
This year, it'll be observed on April 30, 2025, falling on a Wednesday, with the Akshaya Tritiya Puja Muhurta starting from 05:41 A.M. to 12:18 PM, lasting 06 hours 37 minutes, according to Drik Panchang. The tritiya tithi will start on April 29, 2025, at 05:31 PM and end on April 30, 2025, at 02:12 PM.
One of the most auspicious times to buy gold is on Akshaya Tritiya this year, in 2025, starting from Tuesday, April 29, at 05:31 P.M. and concluding on Wednesday, April 30, at 05:41 A.M, lasting 12 hours and 11 minutes.
According to one narrative, on Akshaya Tritiya, Treta Yuga, the second of the four yugas, began, and Lord Vishnu's sixth avatar, Parshuram, was born. Furthermore, it is said that Maharishi Ved Vyasa, the author of the Mahabharata, began narrating the epic to Lord Ganesh on this day.
On this day, Lord Krishna saw his childhood buddy Sudama. Another belief holds that the Ganga descended from heaven on Akshaya Tritiya. Overall, Akshaya Tritiya is a time to celebrate success, fortune, and fresh starts. Devotees seek the heavenly grace of Lord Vishnu, Goddess Lakshmi, and Lord Kubera.

Mahavatar Narsimha Hindi Box Office 4 Weeks: Hombale Films' animated film stands tall against War 2 and Coolie, hits Rs 150 crore mark
Mahavatar Narsimha, directed by Ashwin Kumar, continues its glorious run at the box office. The movie faced several big releases, still stood strong and gained traction, proving why word-of-mouth is the ultimate promotion of any film. Mahavatar Narsimha nets Rs 1.10 crore on 4th Thursday, cume hits Rs 150 crore mark Presented by Hombale Films of Kantara and KGF fame, the animated movie revolves around the story of Lord Vishnu's incarnation, Lord Narsimha. Debuted with Rs 1.35 crore on Day 1, Mahavatar Narsimha collected Rs 29 crore in its first week. As word-of-mouth spread, it saw immense growth in footfalls. The movie fetched Rs 50 crore in the second week, followed by Rs 48.50 crore in the third week. Further, the film faced Coolie and War 2 release during the Independence Day weekend, and still remained one of the major choices among the audiences. It smashed over Rs 18.50 crore in the Independence Day weekend in Hindi, which is higher than Rajinikanth's Coolie: The Powerhouse. While War 2 and Coolie are showing a downward trajectory, Mahavatar Narsimha is retaining its lost shows and performing extremely well. As per estimates, the animated movie collected Rs 1.10 crore on its 4th Thursday, bringing the 4-week total to Rs 149.45 crore net at the Hindi box office. Can Mahavatar Narsimha end up doing Rs 200 crore in Hindi? Mahavatar Narsimha has all possibilities of hitting the Rs 200 crore net mark in Hindi, depending on how it performs against Param Sundari and Baaghi 4, coming on the next two weekends. The major threat to the animated movie will be any movie opening to superlative word-of-mouth. If either of the upcoming two major releases gets a positive reception, it will halt the aspiration of Mahavatar Narsimha to hit the double-century mark. Globally, the movie is eyeing a finish around Rs 300 crore gross, which is a surreal figure for an animated feature film coming from India.
