Akshaya Tritiya 2026

Akshaya Tritiya, which is also known as Akha Teej, is a highly auspicious and holy day for Hindu communities. It falls during Shukla Paksha Tritiya in the month of Vaishakha. Akshaya Tritiya falling on a Rohini Nakshatra day on Wednesday is considered very auspicious. The word Akshaya (अक्षय) means never diminishing. Hence the benefits of doing any Japa, Yajna, Pitra-Tarpan, Dan-Punya on this day never diminish and remain with the person forever.

Akshaya Tritiya is believed to bring good luck and success. Most people purchase Gold on this day as it is believed that buying Gold on Akshaya Tritiya brings prosperity and more wealth in the future. Being Akshaya day, it is believed that Gold, bought on this day will never diminish and will continue to grow or appreciate.

Akshaya Tritiya is the day of Lord Vishnu, the protector deity of the Hindu Trimurti. According to Hindu mythology, the Treta Yuga began on the day of Akshaya Tritiya. Usually, Akshaya Tritiya and Parashurama Jayanti, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, fall on the same day, but depending on the time of the beginning of the Tritiya tithi, Parashurama Jayanti can fall a day before Akshaya Tritiya.

Vedic astrologers also consider Askshay Tritiya an auspicious day free from all malefic effects. As per Hindu Electional Astrology three lunar days, Yugadi, Akshaya Tritiya and Vijay Dashami don't need any Muhurta to start or perform any auspicious work as these three days are free from all malefic effects.
