Mumbai: Devotees across India are celebrating Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, with great devotion today. Falling on the third day of the waxing moon (Shukla Paksha) in the Hindu month of Vaishakh, this sacred festival is regarded as one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar. Akshaya Tritiya is believed to bring never-diminishing (Akshaya) results — whether one starts a new business, donates to charity, or makes a significant purchase.
What makes this day even more special is that it is considered an aboojh muhurat, meaning no separate muhurat (timing) is needed to perform rituals or begin new ventures. From gold purchases and temple visits to special Lakshmi pujas, Hindus across the world observe this day with faith. According to astrologers and spiritual texts, certain rituals involving a sacred coconut, especially the rare Ekakshi Nariyal — are said to bring long-lasting wealth and Goddess Lakshmi’s blessings.
Coconut Rituals That Invite Wealth on Akshaya Tritiya
According to Hindu scriptures, Akshaya Tritiya is closely associated with Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and fortune. This makes it an ideal day to perform remedies that please her — especially those involving a coconut. Offering a dried coconut in a prescribed ritual on this day is said to ensure that your home never runs short of wealth and abundance.
What is an Ekakshi Nariyal and Why Is It So Special?
The Ekakshi Nariyal is a rare form of coconut that has only one “eye” instead of the usual three. In Hindu belief, it symbolises the divine form of Goddess Lakshmi herself. Worshipping this coconut on Akshaya Tritiya is considered highly auspicious and is said to attract blessings that multiply wealth and remove financial obstacles.
To perform this remedy, devotees should place the Ekakshi Nariyal in their prayer room and worship it with uncooked rice (akshat), flowers, durva grass, sweets, milk, curd, honey, and Ganga water. Once the puja is complete, the coconut should be wrapped in a clean red cloth and placed in the household locker or wherever money is kept. It is believed that doing so ensures a constant flow of income and financial growth.
Other Rituals to Please Goddess Lakshmi Today
Besides the coconut remedy, devotees are also encouraged to perform a joint puja of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi on Akshaya Tritiya. Offering lotus or rose flowers to the goddess, along with a traditional sweet dish like kheer, is said to attract divine favour and material prosperity.
Spiritual experts believe that even simple offerings made with devotion on this day are multiplied manifold. Whether you’re beginning a new venture, making an investment, or performing charitable acts, Akshaya Tritiya is seen as the perfect time to sow the seeds for lifelong abundance.
