Akshaya Tritiya — 'the third day that never diminishes' — falls on the 3rd day of the bright fortnight of Vaishakha. It is one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar: every action taken bears everlasting fruit. Start a new venture, make a charitable gift, buy gold, or begin a new fast on this day
Dates 2026–2027
Mantra
ॐ श्रीं महालक्ष्म्यै नमः
Om Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namaha — I bow to Mahalakshmi, the goddess of abundance and prosperity
✦ Special Note
The word Akshaya means 'that which never diminishes.' Charity given on this day grows boundlessly. It is also the traditional day to begin the recitation of the Mahabharata and the Vedas. Many devotees start new jewelry, and families donate sesame, water pots (matkas), and umbrellas to the poor.

Om Jai Jagdish Hare
ॐ जय जगदीश हरे, स्वामी जय जगदीश हरे । भक्त जनों के संकट, दास जनों के संकट, क्षण में दूर करे ॥ जो ध्यावे फल पावे, दुःख बिनसे मन का । सुख सम्पत्ति घर आवे, कष्ट मिटे तन का ॥ मात-पिता तुम मेरे, शरण गहूं मैं किसकी । तुम बिन और न दूजा, आस करूं मैं जिसकी ॥ तुम पूरन परमात्मा, तुम अंतर्यामी । पारब्रह्म परमेश्वर, तुम सबके स्वामी ॥ तुम करुणा के सागर, तुम पालनकर्ता । मैं सेवक तुम स्वामी, कृपा करो भर्ता ॥ तुम हो एक अगोचर, सबके प्राणपति । किस विधि मिलूं दयामय, तुमको मैं कुमति ॥ दीनबंधु दुःखहर्ता, ठाकुर तुम मेरे । अपने हाथ उठाओ, अपनी शरण में लाओ ॥ विषय विकार मिटाओ, पाप हरो देवा । श्रद्धा भक्ति बढ़ाओ, संतन की सेवा ॥
