🌼 Akshaya Tritiya 2025 – The Day of Eternal Prosperity, Purity, and New Beginnings
Date: 30th April 2025
Day: Wednesday
Today marks the auspicious festival of Akshaya Tritiya, one of the most sacred and spiritually significant days in the Hindu calendar. Falling on the third lunar day (Tritiya) of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the Vaisakha month, this day is celebrated across India as a symbol of eternal growth, success, and divine blessings.
🌞 What is Akshaya Tritiya?
The word “Akshaya” in Sanskrit means “never diminishing” or “eternal”, and “Tritiya” refers to the third day of the lunar fortnight. The significance of this day lies in the belief that any good deed performed on Akshaya Tritiya multiplies manifold and brings everlasting prosperity.
This day is free from the need for muhurat or astrological calculations — it is one of the few “swayam siddha” muhurtas, meaning any activity like marriage, business, charity, or new ventures started today is considered inherently auspicious.
