Akshaya Tritiya, also fondly called Akha Teej, is one of those days in the year when everything feels just right to start something new. In 2025, this special day will be observed on Wednesday, 30th April. It falls on the third day (Tritiya) of the bright fortnight of the Vaishakha month, according to the Hindu lunar calendar.

What makes Akshaya Tritiya so special?

The word Akshaya comes from Sanskrit, means something that never ends, something that keeps growing, be it happiness, peace, or wealth. That’s why people consider this day incredibly lucky for doing any kind of good deed, like donating to a cause, starting a new business, or even buying gold. 
 
Over the years, Akshaya Tritiya has become deeply connected with gold purchases. It’s believed that buying gold on this day invites long-lasting prosperity into the home. Many families, young couples, and even first-time investors make it a point to buy at least a small coin or ornament to mark the occasion.
