Akshaya Tritiya, on Vaishakha Shukla Tritiya, is one of the most auspicious days of the Hindu year.
"Akshaya" means that which never diminishes, and what is begun, bought or given on this day is believed to bring lasting prosperity. It is also kept as the birthday of Parashurama, and in the Jain tradition it is the day Rishabhdev ended his long fast with sugarcane juice.
