Mumbai: Akshaya Tritiya, one of the most revered festivals in Hinduism, will be celebrated with exceptional cosmic alignments this year. Known for ushering in prosperity and eternal blessings, Akshaya Tritiya holds a special place in religious traditions. In 2025, the festival will coincide with a rare combination of Wednesday, Rohini Nakshatra, Shobhan Yoga, Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, and Ravi Yoga — a convergence occurring after 30 years. Astrologers suggest that any meritorious acts performed during this period are expected to yield enduring spiritual and material rewards.
It is believed that deeds performed on Akshaya Tritiya under such rare alignments open the doors to happiness, prosperity, and progress. The occasion is regarded as highly auspicious for acts such as charity, rituals, and purchases, making it a significant day to invite good fortune into one’s life. Across Hindu and Jain traditions, the day is celebrated with fervour through offerings, donations, and prayers aimed at enhancing spiritual growth and worldly success.
Mythological Significance of Akshaya Tritiya
Religious texts describe Akshaya Tritiya as the ‘Yugadi Tithi’, the day marking the commencement of the Treta Yuga. Mythology states that all charitable deeds and religious rituals performed on this day yield infinite blessings. Within the Jain tradition, it is believed that Lord Rishabhdev broke his year-long fast on Akshaya Tritiya by accepting sugarcane juice offered by King Shreyansh. As a result, acts such as offering food, water, and medicine are considered to hold immense spiritual value on this day.
Auspicious Time to Buy Gold and Silver
The tradition of purchasing gold and silver on Akshaya Tritiya is deeply rooted in the belief that investments made on this day will grow and multiply. This year, astrologer Surbhi Jain advises that the most auspicious time for purchasing gold is between 5:41 AM and 2:12 PM. Those unable to buy precious metals due to high prices can alternatively purchase and donate items like earthen pots, wheat, rice, or ghee to earn similar blessings.
