About Akshaya Tritiya
Akshaya Tritiya falls on the third day of the bright half of Vaishakh, in April or May. The word akshaya means imperishable, and the day is counted as auspicious in itself, so it needs no muhurat chosen by a priest. Thousands of couples marry on it, many in community mass weddings run by trusts and temples, and families buy gold and jewellery for brides. Jains also keep it, as the day Rishabhanatha ended a long fast. The date follows the moon and can differ by a day.
