Akshaya Tritiya wishes with name, in one paragraph
A Akshaya Tritiya wish with your name on it is an ordinary greeting card with one thing changed: it says who sent it. Type your name on this page and you get a card that opens with “Asha is wishing you Blessed Akshaya Tritiya” instead of a forward from nobody in particular. It is free, takes about ten seconds, and there is nothing to sign up for.
What Akshaya Tritiya celebrated
Akshaya Tritiya is held to be one of the most auspicious days of the year — akshaya means that which never diminishes. Anything begun on it is said to keep growing, which is why so much is begun on it.
When Akshaya Tritiya falls
The third day of the bright fortnight of Vaishakha, in April or May.
Most Indian festivals follow a lunar calendar, so the date moves against the Gregorian one each year. For the official dates, the Government of India holiday calendar is the one to check.
How Akshaya Tritiya is celebrated
- Buying gold, which is the custom the day is now best known for
- Starting new ventures, construction and investments
- Charity and feeding others, which is the older half of the tradition
- Lakshmi and Vishnu puja at home
Kept across India, with the strongest commercial expression in Maharashtra, Gujarat, West Bengal and the south. Jains observe it as the day Rishabhadeva broke a year-long fast.

Straight answers
- Why is gold bought on Akshaya Tritiya?
- Because whatever is acquired on the day is said never to diminish. It is worth knowing this is also a heavily marketed custom — the older tradition puts at least as much weight on giving as on buying.
- What does akshaya mean?
- Imperishable, or that which never runs out. It refers to the merit of what is begun or given on the day.
- What else happens on Akshaya Tritiya?
- It is one of the few days needing no auspicious hour to be chosen — weddings, housewarmings and new businesses are all begun on it. The Char Dham's Badrinath temple also opens for the season.
- How do I send a Akshaya Tritiya wish with my name on it?
- Type your name in the box on this page and tap GO. You get a card that opens with your name on it, and a button that hands the whole thing to WhatsApp. It is free, and there is nothing to sign up for.
