Akshaya Tritiya Puja is celebrated on the third day of the bright half of the Hindu month of Vaishakha. It is considered one of the most auspicious days for initiating financial ventures, buying gold, or performing rituals for wealth and prosperity. Devotees perform this Puja to seek blessings from Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and Lord Kubera, the treasurer of the gods, to ensure continuous growth and abundance.
The ceremony involves decorating an altar with idols of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kubera, arranging Kalash, flowers, fruits, sweets, diyas, and gold coins. A Pandit Ji performs the rituals, guiding participants through Sankalp, Ganapati Puja, Kalash Puja, Havan, and Aarti. Special offerings, including coins or gold, symbolize wealth and prosperity.
This Puja is suitable for homes, offices, shops, or business establishments and can be customized with additional rituals, extended Havan, or multiple Pandits to maximize blessings.
