Akshaya Tritiya 2025: Date, Muhurat and the Importance of Shubh Daan

April 30, 2025

Akshaya Tritiya 2025 brings blessings into your life through its spiritual significance, Muhurat, Shubh Daan, and divine worship. Discover why this day is considered so auspicious and the rewards of daan on this occasion.

What is Akshaya Tritiya?

Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is observed on the Tritiya (third) day of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Vaishakha.
According to the Vedas and Puranas, any auspicious deeds performed on this day yield eternal rewards. That is why it is called Akshaya Tritiya, where Akshaya means “that which never diminishes.”

According to Drik Panchang —
Date: April 30, 2025 (Wednesday)
Muhurat: 6:00 AM to 12:18 PM

Significance of Akshaya Tritiya

Any auspicious deed, donation or daan, or worship performed on this day is believed to yield rewards that are eternal and ever-growing.
It is known as a Swayaṃ Siddha Muhurat, meaning a moment that is naturally auspicious—there’s no need to consult a Panchang to begin anything sacred or new.

Mythological Significance

The Puranas state:
“यदा त्रेता युगे तृतीया अक्षया भवति तदा सर्वं दानं पुण्यं च अक्षयत्वं प्राप्नोति।”
(“Yada Treta Yuge Tṛtīya Akṣaya Bhavati Tada Sarvaṁ Dānaṁ Puṇyaṁ Cha Akṣayatvaṁ Prapnoti”)

Translation: Every virtuous act performed on this day grants eternal and limitless rewards.

Notable events associated with this day:

• Lord Parashurama, the sixth avatar of Vishnu, was born on this day.

• The Pandavas received the Akshaya Patra from Lord Krishna, a vessel of infinite sustenance.

• The beginning of the Treta Yuga is believed to have occurred on this day.

These aren’t just mythological stories—they are timeless principles, encouraging us to live with devotion, discipline, and dharma.

Shubh Daan on Akshaya Tritiya

Shubh Daan holds special importance on Akshaya Tritiya. It is believed that any form of charity or donation done with a pure heart on this day grants Akshaya Punya — undiminishing spiritual merit.

But daan is not just a ritual—it is a reflection of human compassion. It nourishes not just the receiver, but the giver’s soul as well. In giving, we find meaning, connection, and divine grace.

What Can We Do Today?

While many focus on buying gold or other material items on Akshaya Tritiya, the deeper invitation of this day lies in:

• Lighting a diya with stillness and intention.

• Taking a Sankalp (vow) for spiritual or personal upliftment.

• Offering a prayer, a fast, or a small act of service.

• Beginning something soulful, aligned with your inner purpose.

This day reminds us to pause—and choose actions rooted in purity, not popularity.

Because while time moves forward, what is done with authenticity remains eternal.

What to Donate on Akshaya Tritiya

If you’re planning to offer daan, here are some traditionally auspicious items:

• Food grains, fruits, sweets

• Silver, gold, or other metals

• Copper pots filled with clean water

• White clothing

• Cow, land, or scriptures (if possible)

Offer as per your capacity—with a pure heart, and it becomes sacred.

Because the Divine Deserves the Purest

On Akshaya Tritiya, every act of giving, every prayer, and every vow echoes far beyond the limits of time. As we engage in Shubh Daan and sacred rituals, let our intentions be pure, our hearts open, and our actions aligned with dharma.

This is not just a day of tradition — it is a day of transformation.

May what you offer today — be it a diya, a grain, a thought, or a prayer — be received by the Divine in its purest form,
and return to you as Akshaya blessings: unending, unbroken, and eternally sacred.
