Akshaya Tritiya or Akha Teej is a highly auspicious day in the Hindu calendar, celebrated on the Tritiya Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaishakh. Akshaya Tritiya is known as 'Abujh Muhurat', meaning any auspicious work can be done without a special Muhurta. It is believed that any good deed or investment (like gold, property, or charity) made on this day continues to grow and bring prosperity. Invoking Goddess Lakshmi's blessings on Akshaya Tritiya is believed to attract wealth, prosperity, and good fortune, bring abundance in all aspects of life.
How To Perform Puja On Akshaya Tritiya
Sit facing north on a red seat in the evening. Place a picture of Goddess Lakshmi on a red cloth. Place 10 Lakshmikarak cowries in front of the picture. Light a lamp of pure ghee. Perform Shodashopachar worship of Goddess Lakshmi. Apply vermilion on each cowrie and chant 5 rounds of a chosen mantra with a rosary of red sandalwood. This ritual is believed to please Goddess Lakshmi and attract her blessings, and end financial problems and bring prosperity.
