Akshaya Tritiya which is also known as Akha Teej is one of the major festivals in the month of Vaisakha. It is highly auspicious for Hindus as well as Jains. It falls during Shukla Paksha Tritiya in the month of Vaishakha. The word Akshaya itself means ‘Never diminishing’. This day is considered to be very auspicious as the Sun and the Moon are at the height of their brightness on this day. It is also believed that any task done on this day gives highly positive results. The auspiciousness of this day advises people to start new ventures, invest in something significant like buying real estate or gold, and most important rituals like marriage. This day is said to bring in a lot of good luck and prosperity.

One of the most majorly significant tasks that are started on this day is the making of the chariot for the very famous Jagannath Yatra – Car festival in Puri, Odisha. This day is especially considered important for buying Gold as it is believed to be a never-ending source of riches. The number of Indians who believe in this is quite large and this is the reason the Jewellery shops get flooded and the cost of Gold rises as well.
