Akshaya
Tritiya is an important day in the Hindu calendar. It is the third day
of the waxing moon in the month of Vaishaka. Its auspiciousness arises
from the belief that one year in the life of humans is equivalent to a
day in the lives of celestial beings. So, the month Vaishaka is
considered the morning of a celestial being’s day. This, combined with
the waxing of the moon is a symbol of the rising energies that will last
through the year.
