News India Live, Digital Desk: Our festivals are not just for celebration, rather they bring some special astronomical and auspicious coincidences when the work done gives manifold results. We all know the importance of shopping on Dhanteras and Akshaya Tritiya, but there is another such very powerful and virtuous day – ‘Akshay Navami’. It is also known as ‘Amla Navami’.
“Akshay” means that which never decays, that is, which never ends. It is believed that the virtue of donations, good deeds and auspicious purchases made on this day always remains in a person’s life. This festival falls every year on the ninth date of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month, which this year is on Friday, 31 October 2025. This day is directly related to Lord Vishnu and the Amla tree, which is considered like nectar on this day.
Let us know which items should be bought and brought home on this auspicious day so that the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu remain with you forever.
Purchasing of these things is very auspicious on Akshaya Navami:
- Amla plant: As is clear from the name, Amla has special significance on this day. If you have space in your house, then buy a Amla plant and plant it on this day. It is not just a plant but is considered a symbol of happiness, peace and health in the home. If it is not possible to plant a tree, then buy Amla from the market, bring it home, consume it and donate it.
- Any item of gold, silver or brass: According to one’s financial capacity, purchasing metal on this day is considered extremely auspicious. You can also buy a small gold or silver coin or a brass vessel. It is believed that the metal purchased during this auspicious time gets permanent growth, which increases wealth in the house.
- Contents of puja: Akshaya Navami day is best for religious activities. On this day, you can buy a brass lamp, puja bell, conch shell or God’s clothes for the home temple. This purifies the environment of the house and spreads positive energy.
- Seven grains (Saptadhya): On this day, buying seven types of grains like wheat, rice, barley, gram, millet etc. and bringing them home and later donating them to a needy person is considered a great act of charity. It is believed that due to this the food grains in your house are always full and there is never any shortage of anything.
What not to buy?
This is a day of righteousness and virtuous deeds. Therefore, on this day one should avoid buying any type of Tamasic items, sharp objects like knives-scissors, or black colored clothes. The most important thing is that do not borrow money from anyone for shopping on this day.
On this Akshaya Navami, by bringing any of these things home as per your faith and capacity, you can also become a partaker of Akshaya Punya and invite good fortune to your home.
