Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is an auspicious day in Hinduism and Jainism that falls on the third day of the bright half of the lunar month of Vaishakha (April/May). It is believed that any new venture or investment made on this day is bound to bring good luck and prosperity.

In Hinduism, it is believed that Lord Vishnu’s sixth avatar, Parashurama, was born on this day. It is also believed that Lord Ganesha started writing the epic Mahabharata on Akshaya Tritiya.

In Jainism, it is celebrated as the day when Lord Adinath, the first Tirthankara, ended his one-year-long fast by consuming sugarcane juice offered by a farmer.

On this day, people usually buy gold, silver, or other valuable items, as it is believed to be an auspicious time to make investments. It is also a popular day for weddings and other important ceremonies. Many people also perform charitable acts and make donations to the less fortunate on this day.
