About Akshaya Tritiya Mass Weddings
Akshaya Tritiya falls on the third day of the bright half of Vaishakha, in April or May. Tradition holds that anything begun on it will not diminish, so it is chosen for weddings without consulting a muhurat, and for buying gold. Many communities and trusts in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra hold samuhik vivah, group weddings, where dozens or hundreds of couples marry at once and families share the cost. Child marriages were long performed on this day in parts of Rajasthan, which is illegal, and administrations now run campaigns and patrols against it.
