Akshaya Tritiya 2025: Gold buying muhurat, puja vidhi and spiritual significance

Mumbai: Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is regarded as one of the most sacred and auspicious days in the Hindu calendar. Observed on the third day (Tritiya) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaishakh, this day holds immense spiritual and material significance. Devotees believe that any charity, puja, or auspicious activity performed on this day yields endless benefits—hence the term “Akshaya”, which means “never diminishing”.

In 2025, Akshaya Tritiya will be celebrated on 30 April. According to the Panchang, the Tritiya Tithi begins at 5:29 PM on 29 April and ends at 2:12 PM on 30 April. As per the tradition of observing the festival based on the sunrise (Udaya Tithi), the celebrations will take place on 30 April. This day is considered highly favourable for starting new ventures, weddings, housewarming ceremonies, and especially for buying gold, which is seen as a harbinger of wealth and prosperity.

Gold Buying Muhurat

Purchasing gold on Akshaya Tritiya is a widely followed tradition, believed to invite prosperity and good fortune into the household. The shubh muhurat for gold purchase in 2025 begins at 5:33 AM on 29 April and continues till 2:50 AM on 30 April, offering an extended period for devotees to buy gold jewellery or coins.

Akshaya Tritiya Puja Vidhi

On this day, devotees should wake up early, take a bath in a holy river or at home, and wear clean clothes. After taking a vow to observe the day with devotion and to perform good deeds, set up idols or images of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi at the place of worship. Offer flowers, incense, diyas, and bhog (sacred food offering). Reciting the Vishnu Sahasranama and Lakshmi Stotra is considered particularly beneficial. After the puja, distribute prasad among family members and the needy.

Significance of Akshaya Tritiya

Akshaya Tritiya is believed to be the birth anniversary of Lord Parashurama, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. According to mythology, this day also marks the descent of the holy River Ganga to Earth and is celebrated as the birthday of Goddess Annapurna, the deity of nourishment. It is said that any good deed, donation, or religious activity performed on this day multiplies manifold and brings unending rewards.

One of the most unique aspects of Akshaya Tritiya is that it is considered an “abujh muhurat”, meaning a day so auspicious that there is no need to consult a separate mahurat for any activity. This makes it an ideal occasion for marriages, starting new businesses, or making major investments.

From spiritual merit to material prosperity, Akshaya Tritiya is a day that blends devotion and tradition, offering the perfect opportunity to begin something new and seek divine blessings for lasting success.
