Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is a significant Hindu and Jain festival celebrated on the third lunar day (Tritiya) of the bright half of the Hindu month of Vaisakha. The term “Akshaya” means “imperishable” or “eternal,” symbolizing prosperity, success, and good fortune2.
This day is considered highly auspicious for starting new ventures, investing in gold or property, and performing acts of charity2. Devotees often engage in rituals, prayers, and donations to honor the occasion. In Jain tradition, it commemorates the first Tirthankara, Rishabhanatha, ending his long fast by consuming sugarcane juice1.
