Akṣaya Tṛtīyā

Wednesday, 6 May 1981

Goddess Mahālakṣmī, Lord Kubera, and Lord Viṣṇu bestowing inexhaustible abundance through the divine Akṣaya Pātra — The Imperishable Third: Goddess Mahālakṣmī and Lord Kubera bless the overflowing Akṣaya Pātra as devotees perform sacred charity (dāna).

From the pañchāṅga

Śukla Tṛtīyā begins6 May, 2:09 AM

Ends6 May, 10:48 PM

ObservanceMadhyāhna, midday worship

Observed on the day Tṛtīyā prevails at midday; some traditions instead take the sunrise tithi, which can fall a day apart in some years.

How it is observed

No fast: the “imperishable third” is kept by beginning auspicious things, giving in charity (dāna), and worshipping Viṣṇu and Lakṣmī; whatever is begun or given today is said never to diminish.
