About Akshaya Tritiya

Akshaya Tritiya falls on the third tithi (Tritiya) of the bright fortnight of Vaishakha. “Akshaya” means imperishable, and the day is believed to bring lasting results to anything begun or given in charity on it.

It is traditionally a day for buying gold, starting new ventures and making donations, and in the Jain tradition it marks the end of the year-long fast of the first Tirthankara, Rishabhanatha.

How the date is decided

Akshaya Tritiya is kept on the Vaishakha Shukla Tritiya that is running in the forenoon (Purvahna). If Tritiya covers the forenoon on two days, the day on which it is also present at sunrise is chosen.

How it is observed

Puja vidhi: how to do the puja

  1. Bathe early, in a holy river if you can.
  2. Worship Vishnu and Lakshmi with tulsi, yellow flowers and chandan.
  3. Offer barley (jau), sattu and kheer.
  4. Give in charity (daan): a pot of water, a fan, an umbrella, grain or clothes, because what is given today is said never to diminish.
  5. Start new work, buy gold or begin a new undertaking in the purvahna (morning) time shown above.

Katha: The day that never ends

Akshaya means "that which never diminishes". It is told that on this day Krishna's poor childhood friend Sudama came to Dwarka with only a handful of beaten rice as a gift. Krishna ate it with joy, and when Sudama went home he found his hut turned into a palace.

It is also the day the Pandavas in exile received the Akshaya Patra, a vessel that never ran out of food, and the birthday of Parashurama. Good deeds and gifts made today are believed to bear fruit without end.

Aarti: Om Jai Lakshmi Mata

ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता, मैया जय लक्ष्मी माता। तुमको निशदिन सेवत, हरि विष्णु विधाता॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता॥ उमा, रमा, ब्रह्माणी, तुम ही जग-माता। सूर्य-चन्द्रमा ध्यावत, नारद ऋषि गाता॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता॥ दुर्गा रूप निरंजनी, सुख सम्पत्ति दाता। जो कोई तुमको ध्यावत, ऋद्धि-सिद्धि धन पाता॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता॥ तुम पाताल-निवासिनि, तुम ही शुभदाता। कर्म-प्रभाव-प्रकाशिनी, भवनिधि की त्राता॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता॥ जिस घर में तुम रहतीं, सब सद्गुण आता। सब सम्भव हो जाता, मन नहीं घबराता॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता॥ तुम बिन यज्ञ न होते, वस्त्र न कोई पाता। खान-पान का वैभव, सब तुमसे आता॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता॥ शुभ-गुण मन्दिर सुन्दर, क्षीरोदधि-जाता। रत्न चतुर्दश तुम बिन, कोई नहीं पाता॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता॥ महालक्ष्मीजी की आरती, जो कोई जन गाता। उर आनन्द समाता, पाप उतर जाता॥ ॐ जय लक्ष्मी माता॥

Frequently asked questions

When is Akshaya Tritiya in 2027?

Akshaya Tritiya 2027 falls on Sunday, 9 May 2027 (New Delhi). The tithi runs from 11:43 AM, 8 May to 9:03 AM.

Why does the date of Akshaya Tritiya change every year?

Akshaya Tritiya follows the Hindu lunisolar calendar. It is tied to Shukla paksha Tritiya of the month of Vaishakha, not to a fixed Gregorian date. A lunar year is about eleven days shorter than a solar year, so the date moves earlier by roughly that much each year, until a leap month (Adhik Maas) is added and it jumps back.

Is Akshaya Tritiya on the same day everywhere?

Not always. In London, New York, Toronto, Dubai, Johannesburg the date differs from New Delhi, because tithis are read at local sunrise or sunset and these places are many hours away from India. Use the city table above, or the calendar with your own location.
