Akshay Tritiya MAY 9TH 2016
Akshay Tritiya, also
known as Akha Teej, is celebrated on the third day of Shukla Paksha (bright
fortnight) of the vedic month of Vaisakha.
Akshaya Tritiya and
Parashurama Jayanti occurs on the same day. Parshurama Jayanti is observed as
the birthday of Lord Parashurama, sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
Akshaya means 'never
diminishing', and same is Akshaya Tritiya's significance in Hindu Calendar. If
we go by the lunar calendars of Jains and Hindus, each year witnesses either an
addition or missing out of some days (Tithi). But, the day of Akshaya Tritiya
or Akha Teej is never absent from the lunar calendar.
