Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akti or Akha Teej, is an annual Jain and Hindu spring festival.[3] It falls on the third tithi (lunar day) of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the Hindu month of Vaisakha.[4][5][6]
This day is auspicious for those who buy rice, deposit money in a bank account, buy any kind of new things or vessels - visiting temples, donating foods or special offers for poor people, or helping poor children for their education fees, all are good signs for Akshaya Tritiya.[7]
