Akshaya Tritiya 2024: Akshaya Tritiya or Basava Jayanti, one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar, falls on the third day of the bright half of the Vaisakha month. This year, it falls on May 10, 2024. The auspicious time for performing Akshaya Tritiya puja in 2024 is from 05:33 am to 12:18 pm on May 10.

According to Hindu mythology, it is believed that Lord Vishnu incarnated in human form and descended to Earth on Akshaya Tritiya. This day is therefore considered significant for starting new ventures such as purchasing property, getting married, buying a vehicle, or investing in gold. People believe that gold bought on this day never loses its value and instead brings abundant wealth.

The term "Akshaya" signifies something that remains abundant and doesn't diminish. Also known as Akha Teej or Akti, this day is dedicated to worshipping Lord Vishnu in his Lakshminarayana form, alongside Goddess Lakshmi.

On this auspicious occasion, buying gold is believed to attract prosperity and riches into one's life. Besides gold, people may invest in a new vehicle, property, or start a new business. Pujas, havans, or yagnas are conducted, and people offer Sattvic food to Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. Akshaya Tritiya is also deemed propitious for donating items like kumkum, water, coconut, grains, milk, and dairy products, as it's believed that any act of charity on this day brings prosperity and abundance.
