Tritiya – Significance, Festivals & Rituals
What is Tritiya?
Tritiya is the 3rd lunar day (tithi) in the Hindu calendar, occurring twice every month — once in the Shukla Paksha and once in the Krishna Paksha. It is regarded as one of the most auspicious tithis for beginning new activities, purchases, and ceremonies.
What is Akshaya Tritiya?
Akshaya Tritiya falls on Vaishakha Shukla Tritiya and is considered one of the most auspicious days in the entire Hindu calendar. The word 'Akshaya' means 'never diminishing', and anything begun or purchased on this day — especially gold — is believed to bring enduring prosperity and good fortune.
What other festivals fall on Tritiya?
Hartalika Teej falls on Bhadrapada Shukla Tritiya and is observed by women who fast for the wellbeing of their husbands and worship Goddess Parvati. Gangaur, celebrated in Rajasthan on Chaitra Shukla Tritiya, honours Goddess Gauri (Parvati) and is marked by colourful processions and folk songs.
Why is Tritiya considered auspicious for gold purchases?
On Akshaya Tritiya specifically, it is believed that the Sun and Moon are simultaneously at their most exalted positions, making any investment or purchase made on this day grow in value and never diminish. This has made it one of the most popular days for gold buying across India.
