Akshaya Tritiya 2025: Dos And Don'ts To Follow On Akha Teej

Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is a significant Hindu festival symbolising eternal prosperity and divine blessings. In 2025, it will be celebrated on April 30. Akshaya Tritiya also referred to as Akha Teej, holds immense significance in Hindu culture as a day of divine blessings and inexhaustible prosperity. Celebrated annually during the Shukla Paksha Tritiya of the Vaishakha month—usually falling in April or May—this sacred day is believed to bring lasting fortune, spiritual elevation, and endless abundance. The Sanskrit word 'Akshaya" means 'eternal" or 'imperishable," symbolising the belief that any auspicious deed or noble act performed on this day will continue to yield rewards for generations to come. In 2025, Akshaya Tritiya will be observed on Wednesday, April 30, and according to the Drik Panchang, the most favourable time to perform spiritual rituals, make charitable donations, or begin new ventures (the Puja Muhurat) is from 5:41 AM to 12:18 PM. Deeply rooted in mythology and spirituality, the day is believed to be when Lord Kuber, the celestial treasurer, received divine blessings from Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma, granting him the sacred responsibility of safeguarding the wealth of the heavens. Akshaya Tritiya is also believed to be the day when Lord Parashurama, the sixth incarnation of Vishnu, was born, and when Ved Vyasa began composing the Mahabharata. Hence, the day is revered as a symbol of spiritual merit and material success. People across India celebrate Akshaya Tritiya with rituals, charity, and new beginnings. It is considered one of the best days in the Hindu calendar to initiate new ventures, sign contracts, buy property, gold, or vehicles, and solemnise marriages, as no 'muhurat" is required—the day is inherently auspicious.
