Akshaya Tritiya
The day imperishable good fortune begins.
Akshaya Tritiya falls on the third day of the bright half of Vaishakha and is regarded by both Hindus and Jains as one of the most auspicious days of the year. The word akshaya means 'imperishable,' and the day is traditionally chosen for starting new ventures, buying gold or giving charity in the belief that its benefits never fade.
