Akshaya Tritiya 2025: Dos And Don'ts To Follow On Akha Teej
Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is a significant Hindu festival symbolising eternal prosperity and divine blessings. In 2025, it will be celebrated on April 30.
Akshaya Tritiya also referred to as Akha Teej, holds immense significance in Hindu culture as a day of divine blessings and inexhaustible prosperity. Celebrated annually during the Shukla Paksha Tritiya of the Vaishakha month—usually falling in April or May—this sacred day is believed to bring lasting fortune, spiritual elevation, and endless abundance.
The Sanskrit word 'Akshaya" means 'eternal" or 'imperishable," symbolising the belief that any auspicious deed or noble act performed on this day will continue to yield rewards for generations to come.
In 2025, Akshaya Tritiya will be observed on Wednesday, April 30, and according to the Drik Panchang, the most favourable time to perform spiritual rituals, make charitable donations, or begin new ventures (the Puja Muhurat) is from 5:41 AM to 12:18 PM.
Deeply rooted in mythology and spirituality, the day is believed to be when Lord Kuber, the celestial treasurer, received divine blessings from Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma, granting him the sacred responsibility of safeguarding the wealth of the heavens.
Akshaya Tritiya is also believed to be the day when Lord Parashurama, the sixth incarnation of Vishnu, was born, and when Ved Vyasa began composing the Mahabharata. Hence, the day is revered as a symbol of spiritual merit and material success.
People across India celebrate Akshaya Tritiya with rituals, charity, and new beginnings. It is considered one of the best days in the Hindu calendar to initiate new ventures, sign contracts, buy property, gold, or vehicles, and solemnise marriages, as no 'muhurat" is required—the day is inherently auspicious.

This project, an investment of ₹ 3,000 crore, is anticipated to generate a ₹ 3,000 crore in sale Sunil Goel, the MD of Numax and co-founder of Omaxe, is behind this project. Numax, led by MD and Omaxe co-founder, Mr. Sunil Goel Mr. Goel sees potential in Muzaffarnagar, envisioning it as a futuristic hub in North India. "Muzaffarnagar is a strategic confluence of economic drivers and cultural heritage," states Mr. Goel. The city is recognised as the "Sugar Bowl of India" due to its sugarcane industry and home to Asia's largest jaggery market. It is also gaining traction as a centre for industrialisation, with paper and steel sectors. Additionally, its spiritual significance, with sites like Shukratal and its blend of Hindu-Muslim cultural heritage, adds to its character. The Numax City township is designed to accommodate this evolving landscape, offering a comprehensive environment for modern living. The development includes group housing, independent floors, villas, plots, and SCO (Shop-cum-Office) plots, along with a shopping mall, hotel, school, and hospital. This approach reflects Mr. Goel's experience in creating integrated townships, with previous projects like Omaxe NRI City (85 acres in Greater Noida, 2003) and the 700+ acre mega township in New Chandigarh (2015-16). Numax's financial standing as a zero-debt company is a distinguishing factor for this undertaking. This foundation, supported by Mr. Goel's over 35 years of experience, is expected to contribute to the timely delivery of this project. With improving connectivity and a rising population, Numax City, supported by its ₹ 3,000 crore investment, aims to contribute to Muzaffarnagar's readiness for urban living.
