Akshaya Tritiya 2024: Two mythical tales explain why it is good to purchase gold on Akshaya Tritiya.

The most auspicious season of the year, Akshaya Tritiya 2024, has arrived. Around the nation, Akshaya Tritiya is observed with much fanfare and extravagance each year. Another name for it is Akha Teej. In the month of Vaishakha, Akshaya Tritiya coincides with Shukla Paksha Tritiya. People start starting businesses, getting married, or engaging in other auspicious activities on this day, which is regarded as one of the most auspicious of the year. Since the word “Akshaya” means “things that cannot be damaged,” people purchase real estate and precious metals on this day, thinking that its worth will increase forever.

On the day of Akshaya Tritiya, people customarily purchase gold, silver, and other precious metals. Drik Panchang states that this year’s Akshaya Tritiya will take place on May 10. On May 10, the puja muhurat will run from 5:33 AM to 12:18 PM.

On Akshaya Tritiya, why do people purchase gold?

It is thought that on the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya, Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma bestowed upon Lord Kuber their blessings and assigned him the duty of securing the wealth of heaven. Therefore, it is thought that purchasing valuable items like gold and silver under Lord Kuber’s name will only appreciate in value.

According to another legend, Lord Krishna paid the Pandavas an unexpected visit on this day when they were in exile. Draupadi got up and begged for pardon for not cooking a lavish feast. After giving her a blessing, Lord Krishna removed a single stalk of herb from the food bowl and presented it to the Pandavas, giving them the Akshaya Patra, or bowl of abundance. Because they think that the value of gold, silver, and other metals would never go down, they purchase them on this day. It is said that purchases made on this day will always benefit others and appreciate in value.
