Akshaya Tritiya is one of the most holy and auspicious occasions for the Hindus all over the world. Akshaya Tritiya is also called Akha Teej and it is celebrated during the Tritiya (the third day) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Vishakha.

When the muhurat of Akshaya Tritiya falls on Rohini Nakshatra, it is considered to be all the more auspicious. The word "Akshaya" can be translated to something that can never be destroyed or that can never diminish.

For the same reason, any kind of Dana, Punya, Japa and Yagnya done on this day will give immense benefits. The blessings and grace derived by these good deeds can never dwindle and will only grow with time.

It is said that even Lord Kubera came to be rich and was instated as the treasurer of the gods only after he worshipped Goddess Lakshmi on the Akshaya Tritiya day. As mere mortals, we too can pray and perform poojas on the holy day to gain blessings of health and wealth. With this in mind, we have listed the ways to perform a simple pooja on Akshaya Tritiya day.

Perform this pooja to gain wealth, success and power. This pooja will help to fill your house with prosperity and happiness. This pooja invokes many gods. On this day, Lord Ganesha is believed to bless us with immense knowledge, wisdom and courage to perform the deeds that we need to do.

Lord Shiva is known to shower your family with saubhagya and marital bliss. Goddess Lakshmi is known to remove your financial troubles and also fill your home with righteous wealth. Lord Sri Krishna is believed to help you attain peace and moksha.

The day of Akshaya Tritiya is already so auspicious that you may start any new venture without checking for any muhurtams (holy period). It is believed that if we perform this pooja before starting anything new on Akshaya Tritiya, we will be highly benefited.
