Celebrated on April 19 this year, Akshaya Tritiya is considered highly auspicious for starting new businesses, making investments, and purchasing gold and real estate. The festival is marked by prayer, alms-giving, and spiritual practices. The word 'Akshaya' means 'never diminishing'. It is said that things that start on this day expand forever with fewer obstacles in their way and that doing good deeds on this day will bring eternal success and fortune. The occasion is celebrated on the third day of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaisakh. According to the Gregorian calendar, this day typically falls in April or May. It is on this day that both the sun and the moon are said to be at their planetary best alignment. According to Hindu scriptures, Akshaya Tritiya also marks the start of the Kalyug and the end of the Dwapar Yug. Meanwhile, in Uttarakhand, the portals of Kedarnath Dham, regarded as a sacred symbol of faith and devotion, will be opened for pilgrims for the 2026 Yatra on April 22 at 8:00 am. (ANI)
