Akshaya Tritiya aka Akshaya Tadige: The term Akshaya means imperishable or everlasting - something that never fades away. This day is said to bring luck or good fortune to those who make initiations or purchase valuables. The Sun and Moon are believed to be most radiant and best positioned on the Akshaya Tritiya day, according to astrology. The significance of this day stems from the fact that it does not require any special muhurta or auspicious time to do any auspicious work.
Madanratna, a holy text that explains the meaning of the day, goes this way…
“O Yudhistra the offerings made and the oblations offered in the sacrificial fire (havan) on this day never go in vain,” Lord Sri Krishna says.
