As the Tritiya Tithi begins before 12 PM and in the Brahma Muhurat, Akshaya Tritiya will be celebrated on the same day. The story behind Akshaya Tritiya The story of Akshaya Tritiya is believed to have started with the gift of Akshaya Patra . During the period of exile, the Pandavas faced difficulty feeding all their guests. And one day, when Lord Krishna visited them and they had to send him away without a proper feast, they felt sad and sorry about their state. Looking at their nature and their feelings, it is said that Lord Krishna gave Draupadi the Akshaya Patra, a pot from which food flows endlessly. This ensured that no visitor left hungry. The birth of Lord Parshuram Akshaya Tritiya is also celebrated as the birthday of Lord Parashuram, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu , and the Brahman who had to take up arms like a Kshatriya to protect people from tyrannical rulers. Lord Parashuram is believed to be a symbol of justice, valour, and righteousness, and one of the warriors who will guide Kalki when the time is right. The significance of Akshaya Tritiya The word 'Akshaya' means 'never diminishing' and "Tritiya" refers to the third day of the lunar cycle.

Rituals for Akshaya Tritiya Akshaya Tritiya has similar rituals to many other Hindu festivals, and it all starts with early morning prayers, taking a bath, and the likes. Devotees wake up early and take a shower, and if they are near a sacred river, they prefer going there to cleanse themselves. If not, just add some Gangajal to your water, and that is believed to have a similar effect. Then there are special pujas performed in homes and temples, and Lord Vishnu, the protector of the universe, is worshipped along with Maa Lakshmi, the deity of wealth. Devotees offer them flowers, fruits, sweets, and tulsi leaves, and pray for a better future. And today, one of the most important parts of Akshaya Tritiya is not just buying and accumulating material wealth, but also doing charity. People donate food, clothes, money, grains, water, and other essentials to the needy, and in some regions, donating cows, umbrellas, shoes, and sugar is also considered highly auspicious on this day as it helps a man in need. People do not just rush to jewellers to accumulate wealth, they also head to the nearby orphanages, old age homes, temples, and similar places to donate and do charity work for the people who need it, be it donating clothes or feeding them.

Parshuram Jayanti 2025: Date, Rituals & Significance
Parshuram Jayanti, marking the birth anniversary of Lord Parshuram, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, holds deep religious importance in Hinduism. In 2025, this auspicious day coincides with Friday, April 29, aligning with Akshaya Tritiya, a day celebrated for its ever-increasing blessings. Date and Muhurat of Parshuram Jayanti 2025 According to the Hindu Panchang, Parshuram Jayanti falls on Tritiya Tithi of Shukla Paksha inVaishakh month. The specific timings are: • Tritiya Tithi Begins: April 29, 2025, at 5:31 PM • Tritiya Tithi Ends: April 30, 2025, at 2:12 PM As per tradition, worship should be performed during Pradosh Kaal, which is believed to be the time of Lord Parshuram's appearance. Who Is Lord Parshuram? Lord Parshuram, born to Rishi Jamadagni and Renuka, is the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Known for his short temper and immense power, Parshuram was originally named Ram. After learning weaponry under Lord Shiva, who later gifted him an axe, he came to be known as Parshuram. A unique warrior-sage, Parshuram is one of the Chiranjivi—the immortal beings destined to live through multiple Yugas. He trained legendary warriors like Bhishma, Dronacharya, and Karna, and is believed to reappear to train Lord Kalki, the final incarnation of Vishnu. Significance of Parshuram Jayanti The day is a celebration of righteousness, discipline, and divine justice. Parshuram fought evil forces, punished corrupt Kshatriyas, and protected sages. Devotees believe that praying to Lord Parshuram brings courage, prosperity, and protection against enemies. His appearance is also closely linked with Akshaya Tritiya, considered a highly auspicious time to begin new ventures or purchase gold. Rituals and Celebrations Devotees begin the day by waking up during Brahma Muhurat, bathing in Gangajal, and wearing clean clothes. Offerings to the Sun God and Lord Parshuram include: Yellow flowers Yellow sweets Aarti and Archana rituals Fasting is observed throughout the day. After performing evening prayers, devotees break their fast with fruits or eat only the next day. Mythological Stories of Parshuram Conflict with Kartavirya Arjuna Parshuram's legend includes the killing of King Kartavirya Arjuna, who forcefully seized the divine cow Kamdhenu from Jamadagni's ashram. In retaliation, Parshuram waged war against Kshatriyas for 21 generations until Sage Ruchika intervened. Killing His Mother In another tale, after suspecting his wife Renuka's mental infidelity, Jamadagni asked his sons to execute her. While others refused, Parshuram obeyed. Pleased, Jamadagni granted him boons—reviving Renuka, restoring his brothers, and granting him invincibility and long life. Confrontation with Lord Ganesha A lesser-known tale states Parshuram once broke Lord Ganesha's tooth in anger, earning Ganesha the name Ekadanta. Why Parshuram Has Kshatriya Traits Though born a Brahmin, Parshuram displayed Kshatriya-like aggression. This was attributed to a myth involving his grandmother Satyavati, who mistakenly consumed a ritual meant for her mother. As a result, her son (Jamadagni) inherited Brahmin traits, but her grandson (Parshuram) was destined to possess warrior qualities. Akshaya Tritiya and Its Connection Celebrated on the same day, Akshaya Tritiya marks the onset of Treta Yuga and is revered for bringing never-ending fortune. It's a day when buying gold and beginning new ventures are considered particularly fruitful. People worship Lord Vishnu, chant Vishnu Sahasranama, and donate food and grains to the needy. Parshuram Jayanti 2025, falling on April 29, is more than a birthday celebration. It is a day to embrace righteousness, reflect on mythological values, and invoke blessings from Lord Vishnu's fierce incarnation. With spiritual practices, fasting, and traditional rituals, devotees across India pay homage to this eternal protector of Dharma.
