Akshaya Tritiya

Akshaya Tritiya falls on Vaishakha Shukla Tritiya and is traditionally regarded as a day of lasting merit. According to tradition, good deeds, japa and daan begun on this day are said to bear lasting fruit, which is why many families start something new, from a purchase to a venture, with prayer.

It is also a day for remembering ancestors with water and food offerings. Ujjain families often visit the Kshipra for a bath and give daan of water pots, grain and seasonal fruit. A Lakshmi pujan or a Pitru tarpan can be offered in your name through an online sankalp.
