Why the day is called akshaya

Akshaya means "that which does not decay". The belief is that a good deed, a gift or a purchase made on this day keeps its value. The Puranas also count it as the first day of Treta Yuga, and the calendar marks Treta Yugadi on 8 May this year, the evening before.

What Marathi families do on Akshaya Tritiya

The morning puja is simple: Lakshmi-Narayan or the family deity, a kalash of water and a plate of grain. Many homes give a matka of cool water, a fan or curd rice to someone in need, since the day falls in the hot month of Vaishakh. In villages, farmers start the first ploughing of the season around this date.

In the evening, women hold the haldi-kunku for Chaitra Gauri, which started in Chaitra and ends around this time. Mango pickle making and the first aamras of the season usually start in the same week.

Buying gold and property

Jewellers in Pune, Mumbai and Kolhapur keep longer hours on Akshaya Tritiya. If you are buying property, the registration office follows the government calendar, and 9 May 2027 is a Sunday, so registration usually has to wait until Monday. The puja and token payment can still be done on the day.

The other sade teen muhurat days in 2027 are listed in Sade teen muhurat 2027. For gold buying on a Guru Pushyamrut Thursday, see Guru Pushyamrut 2027.
