What is Akshaya Tritiya?

Akshaya Tritiya means "the imperishable third" — a day on which whatever is begun or given is held never to diminish. It is one of the handful of dates considered auspicious in its entirety, needing no muhurat to be chosen within it.

How it is observed

It is the single busiest day of the Indian year for buying gold, and a favoured date for weddings, housewarmings and new ventures. Charity given today is believed to return without end.
