In Sanskrit ‘Akshaya’ means Imperishable and ‘Tritiya’ means the third phase of the moon. Akshaya Tritiya (Akha Teej or Akti) is an important festival for Hindus and Jains.

It is one among four Tithis on which one doesn’t even need to look at muhurta. It is celebrated on Tritiya tithi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaisakh. It is the day of Aboojh Muhurta.

Thus, one can perform auspicious events - Marriage, Grih-Pravesh, or purchase land, Clothes, Jewellery, and other valuables. On this day, people purchase gold as it is believed that charity done on this day brings good luck and success.

Story related to Hinduism:

A person named Dharmdas, was very poor. But after he got to know the importance of Akshaya Tritiya, he used to bathe in the Ganges, offered worship to Lord Vishnu, and Maa Laxmi, observed fast and gave charity.

His family got worried, as to why he was doing charity as they were so poor, but he kept on doing the good work. He died later but became the king of Kushavati in his next birth, because of good deeds and charity work in his previous birth.

Story related to Jainism:

The first sadhu of the karma bhumi was Lord Adinath (First Tirthankar). After he completed his 6-month Tapasya (austerity), he went on to accept the Aahar (Food) but no one knew the correct way to provide the aahar to him.
#SanatanaDharma #Jainism

So this whole process of the search took another 6 months. While propagating truth he went on to visit Hastinapur. It was ruled by the King Somprabh and Shreyansh Kumar was his brother.
#SanatanaDharma #Jainism

They after knowing that Lord Adinath has arrived, greeted him and completed 3 Pradakshina (Parikrama) of him.
#SanatanaDharma #Jainism

After this Shreyansh Kumar recalled that he was a queen named Rani Shrimati in his previous birth and Lord Adinath was Queen Shrimati’s Husband in the previous birth and had the name Vajranabh.
#SanatanaDharma #Jainism

And both of them had given Ahaar to saints in their previous birth as well. So now Shreyansh got to know the correct procedure of providing Aahar to Lord Adinath. Shreyansh Kumar then accompanied Lord Adinath and correctly gave him Sugarcane juice.
#SanatanaDharma #Jainism

This sugarcane juice was known as Ikshuras. And from that day the tradition of giving Aahar to Muni Maharaj started. The same day is referred to as Akshaya Tritiya.
