Tritiya of Shukla Paksha in Vaishakha
Akshaya Tritiya, also called Akha Teej, is considered one of the most auspicious days of the Hindu year for acquiring anything of lasting value. In 2026 it falls on 19 April. The word akshaya means inexhaustible, and the belief is that any good deed, purchase or beginning made on this day returns many times over.
It is the largest gold-buying day of the Indian year after Dhanteras, and jewellers run their biggest campaigns around it. It is also a major day for buying property, booking weddings, and starting new businesses — wedding halls across India are booked heavily for this date, and it is one of the few days on which a wedding can be held without consulting a separate muhurat.
The day's stories include the descent of the Ganga to earth, the beginning of the Treta Yuga, Parashurama's birth, and — most importantly for the practical rituals — the day Ved Vyasa began writing the Mahabharata and the day Sudama's simple gift of flattened rice to Krishna was returned to him a hundredfold. That last story is why giving and receiving on this day is considered so productive.
The day is also important in the Jain community as Akshaya Tritiya, marking the breaking of Rishabhanatha's fast with sugarcane juice and the start of the practice of charity in the Jain tradition.

In the order a household actually does them.
Bathe, set up a puja with Lakshmi, Vishnu and Kubera, and recite the Vishnu Sahasranama or the Shri Suktam. Offer barley, rice, lotus and tulsi.
Kubera, the treasurer of the gods, is worshipped specifically on this day for wealth. Place a silver coin or a Kubera yantra on the puja and offer kumkum and turmeric.
Any metal purchase counts, and the ritual requirement is that it is bought deliberately on the day specifically, not incidentally.
Feed someone, donate grain, or give clothes. Given the Sudama story, giving on Akshaya Tritiya is the ritual with the strongest scriptural backing.
This is where most festival sites give one national answer to a question that has several.

Muhurat trading on the stock exchanges is held on Akshaya Tritiya and Diwali. Gold buying and new business registrations both peak.

Yes. Akshaya Tritiya is one of the few days of the Hindu year considered auspicious on its own, which is why weddings are booked heavily on it without a separate muhurat calculation.
Sudama, Krishna's childhood friend, brought him a humble gift of flattened rice. Krishna accepted it and returned Sudama's generosity a hundredfold, restoring his wealth. That is why charity on Akshaya Tritiya is believed to return multiplied.
