Akshaya Tritiya is called ‘Akshay’ because the results of donations and good deeds done on this day never decay (destroy). It is believed that Satyayuga and Tretayuga had started on this day. Lord Parshuram’s incarnation also took place on this date. Donating an earthen pot, sattu, fan and melon on this day is considered essential for the peace and happiness and prosperity of the ancestors.
Glory of Ganga Saptami and Sita Navami
Ganga Saptami will be celebrated on 23rd April, immediately after Akshaya Tritiya, in which bathing in Ganga has special significance. The festival of Sita Navami on 25th April is very special for married women. Worshiping Mother Sita on this day brings happiness and peace in married life. Along with this, Mohini Ekadashi fast will be observed on 27th April, which is considered to liberate one from the bondages of attachment and illusion.
