Vaishakh Shukla Tritiya is known as Akshaya Tritiya. In Astrology, it is considered as Abuja Muhurta. In this, all kinds of work can be done like marriage, home entry, home start, new work start etc. It is called 'Chiranjeevi Tithi' (being the date of birth of Chiranjeevi Parashurama), 'Yugadi Tithi' (being the date of the beginning of Tretayuga), 'date of self-observation' etc. The doors of Shri Badrinarayan are opened on this day. The darshan of Shri Bihariji's feet in Vrindavan takes place once in a year on this day.
Fasting is observed on the day of Akshaya Tritiya. An urn filled with Water, Fan, Foot-paduka, Umbrella, Cow, Land, Gold Pot etc. are donated. On this day, an urn filled with water and melon are offered in the Shiva temples. On this day, married women worship Goddess Parvati.
