Akshaya Tritiya 2025: 5 things you should never do on this auspicious day

Mumbai: Akshaya Tritiya, falling this year on 30 April, is one of the most sacred dates in the Hindu calendar. Observed annually on the third day of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaishakha, it is considered a highly auspicious occasion for new beginnings, religious rituals, and financial investments. The word “Akshaya” means “never diminishing” in Sanskrit, and it is believed that any good deed or purchase made on this day yields enduring benefits.

While it is widely celebrated with gold and silver purchases, it is equally important to be mindful of certain practices that are traditionally discouraged. Ignoring these may, according to religious beliefs, displease Goddess Lakshmi – the deity of wealth – and bring about financial instability.

What Not to Do on Akshaya Tritiya 2025

Here’s a list of actions to avoid on Akshaya Tritiya 2025:

1. Avoid Buying Plastic, Steel or Aluminium

Though buying gold is considered auspicious on Akshaya Tritiya, purchasing items made of plastic, steel or aluminium is frowned upon. These materials are believed to be associated with the planet Rahu and are thought to bring negative energy into the home. It’s best to focus on precious metals or spiritually significant items instead.

2. Refrain from Lending or Borrowing Money

Financial transactions such as lending or borrowing money on Akshaya Tritiya are considered inauspicious. It is said that such exchanges can lead to instability in wealth and result in prolonged financial stress. On this day, ensure that your finances are managed wisely and avoid any monetary obligations.

3. Don’t Neglect Cleanliness at Home

Cleanliness plays a crucial role on this day, as it is believed that Goddess Lakshmi only visits spaces that are tidy and well-maintained. A messy or cluttered home may deter her blessings, so take time to clean your living space thoroughly before performing any rituals or prayers.

4. Show Respect in Religious Rituals

Worshipping Lord Vishnu, Lord Ganesha, and symbolic items like Shankh (conch shell), cowries, Shree Yantra, and Kuber Yantra is highly recommended on Akshaya Tritiya. However, any form of neglect or disrespect during these rituals is believed to displease the gods and diminish the spiritual benefits of the day.

5. Do Not Pluck Tulsi Leaves

Tulsi (holy basil) is sacred in Hindu tradition and is believed to be a manifestation of Goddess Lakshmi herself. Plucking its leaves on Akshaya Tritiya is strictly prohibited, as doing so is said to offend the deity and invite her displeasure.

As you prepare to celebrate Akshaya Tritiya, keep these important guidelines in mind to ensure you invite prosperity, peace, and positive energy into your life.
