Akshaya Tritiya 2025: Muhurat timing to buy gold on Akha Teej
Akshaya Tritiya is considered to bring good fortune and success. Many individuals purchase gold on this occasion as it is thought that acquiring gold on Akshaya Tritiya leads to prosperity and increased wealth in the future.
Moreover, it is believed that gold purchased on Akshaya Tritiya will never lose its value and will continue to appreciate over time.
At present, the price of gold has reached ₹ 1 lakh for 10 grams, in contrast to ₹ 73,500 on Akshaya Tritiya last year. Likewise, silver prices have risen to ₹ 1,00,000 per kilogram, an increase from ₹ 86,000 per kilogram in 2023.
As per reports, the domestic jewelry market is expected to experience a "mixed trend" in gold and silver purchases on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya, in light of the significant increase in precious metal prices, stated the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on Tuesday. Pankaj Arora, President of the All India Jewellers and Goldsmith Federation, has estimated a business turnover of ₹ 16,000 crore on Akshaya Tritiya, which falls on April 30.
This year's Akshaya Tritiya is anticipated to see gold sales reach approximately 12 tonnes valued at nearly ₹ 12,000 crore, along with around 400 tonnes of silver worth ₹ 4,000 crore, totaling an estimated business of ₹ 16,000 crore, according to All India Jewellers and Goldsmith Federation President Pankaj Arora, as per reports.
The term Akshaya translates to 'never diminishing.' Therefore, the advantages of performing any Japa, Yajna, Pitra-Tarpan, or Dan-Punya on this day are everlasting and stay with the individual indefinitely. Akshaya Tritiya occurs during the Shukla Paksha Tritiya in the month of Vaishakha. When Akshaya Tritiya coincides with a Rohini Nakshatra day and a Wednesday, it is deemed highly auspicious.
The day of Akshaya Tritiya is presided over by Lord Vishnu, the preserver in the Hindu Trinity. According to Hindu legends, the Treta Yuga commenced on Akshaya Tritiya.
Typically, Akshaya Tritiya and Parashurama Jayanti, which celebrates the birth of the 6th incarnation of Lord Vishnu, occur on the same day, although the starting time of the Tritiya Tithi may cause Parashurama Jayanti to fall one day.
According to Drik Panchang, Akshaya Tritiya is on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.

Mukesh Ambani, Radhika Merchant, Anant Ambani Visit London's Swaminarayan Temple After First Wedding Anniversary
Last Updated: Mukesh Ambani, Anant, and Radhika engaged in prayers and sought blessings at the revered Hindu temple Reliance Industries chairman and managing director Mukesh Ambani, his youngest son Anant Ambani, and daughter-in-law Radhika Merchant recently visited the iconic BAPS Swaminarayan Temple in London at 6.50pm on July 13. This spiritual visit occurred shortly after Anant and Radhika celebrated their first wedding anniversary on July 12. Their visit to the Neasden Temple, as it is popularly known, underscores the Ambani family's deep-rooted faith and traditions, which remain a constant amidst their high-profile public and business engagements. Images on social media showed Mukesh Ambani, Anant, and Radhika engaging in prayers and seeking blessings at this revered Hindu temple. About the temple The BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir in London is not only a significant place of worship for the Hindu community in the UK but also an architectural marvel that attracts visitors from various backgrounds. It is a masterpiece of traditional Hindu design and exquisite workmanship that rises serenely amid London's iconic skyline. Using 5,000 tonnes of Italian Carrara and Indian Ambaji marble and the finest Bulgarian limestone, it was hand-carved in India before being assembled in London, and inaugurated by Pujya Pramukh Swami Maharaj in 1995. The wedding Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani tied the knot in a star-studded affair on July 12, 2024. The marriage ceremony was held at Mumbai's Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre and was India's most widely followed cultural phenomenon—one that put the country on the global map—with millions globally witnessing the beautiful and deeply meaningful rituals unfold across mainstream and social media. The young Ambani couple chose to meticulously follow every Indian tradition and custom—a choice stemming from their deep reverence for these practices and a profound desire to commence their married life with the blessings and wisdom of elders and spiritual leaders. The wedding was a remarkable gathering of religious and spiritual leaders from various Vedic Hindu traditions, making it the largest congregation of such figures at a wedding ceremony in recent memory.

Tokyo millionaire walks away from beauty empire to chase past life visions in Shiva's land during Kanwar Yatra
Among thousands of saffron-draped sadhus and common people, heading to Haridwar for the Kanwar Yatra, one stands out, Hoshi Takayuki, 41, a former Japanese entrepreneur who once ran a chain of 15 beauty product stores in Tokyo. But now? He is Bala Kumbha Gurumuni, a Lord Shiva devotee on a soul-searching journey through Uttarakhand. From Tokyo to Trishul: The unlikely yogi tale of Hoshi Takayuki What sparked this transformation? A spiritual rollercoaster that started two decades ago in Tamil Nadu. During a trip, Takayuki stumbled upon a Nadi astrology centre, yes, the ancient palm-leaf-reading thing, and the predictions apparently blew his mind. He was told that he had once lived as a Himalayan sage and was destined to return to Hindu spirituality. Talk about a plot twist. A Lord #Shiva devotee, Takayuki has built two shrines in the deity's honour; but his spiritual journey began 20 years ago with a trip to #TamilNadu, where an astrological reading "revealed his past life".Details here 🔗 Dreams, destiny, and a full-blown Shiva obsession Back in Tokyo, Takayuki said he dreamt of being in Uttarakhand in another lifetime. That one dream set off a chain reaction. He soon handed over his business empire to his followers (power move, honestly) and dedicated himself entirely to a spiritual life. Fast-forward to today, he has transformed his Tokyo home into a full-fledged Shiva temple and even constructed a second shrine. He now goes by his spiritual name, which he said was revealed in a second Nadi reading, Bala Kumbha Gurumuni. Kanwar Yatra, ashrams, and big plans for India Takayuki is not walking this path alone. He is currently in India with a squad of 20 followers, offering free food to fellow kanwariyas in a Dehradun camp. According to his long-time friend and Japan-based Indian consultant Ramesh Sundriyal, Takayuki is planning to set up an ashram in Uttarakhand and has already bought 35 acres in Puducherry to build a majestic Shiva temple. The spiritual influencer, because let's be honest, he kind of is one—says he still feels deeply connected to Devbhoomi Uttarakhand and is convinced he lived there in a past life. He is still searching for what he calls 'his lost village.' Now that is what you call a full-circle reincarnation arc.
