The highly anticipated occasion of Akshaya Tritiya has arrived once again, bringing with it immense significance for the Hindu community across the nation. This day is special because it is observed with great zeal and splendour. It commemorates the day that Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma bestowed upon Lord Kuber their divine gifts and gives him the responsibility of watching over heavenly treasures. On this auspicious day, devotees honour numerous gods, such as Lord Ganesha, Lord Vishnu, and Goddess Lakshmi.
“Akshaya,” which stands for the everlasting and unbreakable, is the foundation for many fortunate endeavours, including starting new businesses, getting married, and taking on new projects.
This year, Akshaya Tritiya falls on May 10, coinciding with Parashurama Jayanti. As we seek divine blessings, it is imperative to adhere to certain guidelines:
