Akshaya Tritiya is an annual Hindu festival that falls on the third lunar day of the waxing moon in the Hindu month of Vaisakha, which usually falls in late April or early May. The word "Akshaya" in Sanskrit means "never-ending" or "eternal" and "Tritiya" means "third day". The festival is celebrated to mark the beginning of the spring season and is considered an auspicious day for starting new ventures, buying gold, and investing in property.

The history of Akshaya Tritiya is associated with several Hindu myths and legends. According to one legend, on this day, Lord Vishnu, in his incarnation as Parashurama, received the celestial weapon "Parashu" from Lord Shiva after performing severe penance. In another legend, the Pandavas received the Akshaya Patra, an inexhaustible vessel that would provide an unlimited supply of food, from Lord Krishna on this day during their exile.

The festival is also associated with the birthday of Lord Parasurama, who is believed to be the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu. Devotees offer special pujas and prayers to Lord Vishnu and his various avatars on this day. Additionally, people offer donations, perform charity, and feed the needy as a part of the celebration.

Overall, Akshaya Tritiya is considered a highly auspicious and significant day in the Hindu calendar, and it is celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm across India.
