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.

The Hundred: Lucknow Super Giants seal 70% stake in Manchester Originals in deal worth ₹929 crore
Max Holden of Manchester Originals in action during a The Hundred match against Birmingham Phoenix (Photo by) Indian Premier League franchise Lucknow Super Giants have acquired a 70% stake in the Hundred team Manchester Originals, completing an £80 million (approximately ₹929 crore) deal with Lancashire County Cricket Club. The transaction was formalised earlier this week, but the contracts were signed on Friday morning during the first session of the England-India fourth Test at Old Trafford. As per a report from The Observer, the timing was intentionally aligned with the Hindu festival of Hariyali Amavasya, which marks the beginning of a two-day celebration dedicated to Lord Shiva. Considered an auspicious occasion, the day was specifically chosen by Lucknow's parent company, RPSG Group, to commence their ownership. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! This move makes Manchester Originals the latest franchise in The Hundred to attract major external investment, as English cricket stands to earn an estimated £520 million (approximately ₹6,040 crore INR) from the sale of its eight teams. RPSG's new acquisition will soon be renamed Manchester Super Giants, bringing the franchise into alignment with their existing teams - the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL and Durban Super Giants in South Africa's SA20. Bombay Sport Exchange Episode 1: Interview with Sanjog Gupta, CEO (Sports) at JioStar Shashwat Goenka, vice-chairman of RPSG, had outlined the group's ambitions when they secured the franchise in February. 'We are not football, we are cricket,' Goenka said. 'We want the Manchester franchise in the Hundred to become the third biggest sports team in Manchester and challenge those two sports teams in Manchester,' said Goenka, as quoted by The Observer. Other sales across The Hundred are progressing swiftly. Knighthead Capital, owners of Birmingham City, have taken a 49% stake in Birmingham Phoenix for £40 million (around ₹464 crore). GMR Group, co-owners of the Delhi Capitals, have completed a 100% buyout of Southern Brave for approximately £98 million (about ₹1,138 crore). Poll Do you believe the renaming of Manchester Originals to Manchester Super Giants is a positive change? Yes, it aligns with branding No, they should keep the original name Deals for London Spirit, Welsh Fire, and Northern Superchargers are expected to be finalised shortly. However, negotiations involving the Oval Invincibles and Trent Rockets have hit delays. Talks with the Ambani family and a consortium linked to Chelsea FC owner Todd Boehly are reportedly more complex and unlikely to conclude before The Hundred begins on August 5. The England and Wales Cricket Board had hoped to unveil all eight franchise deals ahead of the new season.

Did you know Dhirubhai and Kokilaben Ambani were opposed to Anil Ambani's marriage to Tina Munim?
Anil Ambani and Tina Munim's love story faced family opposition due to her Bollywood background. They separated but reunited after years apart. With his family's eventual approval, they married in 1991 and have since shared over 30 years together, raising two sons, Jai Anmol and Jai Anshul. Though Mukesh Ambani often commands the spotlight as India and Asia's wealthiest magnate, his younger brother Anil Ambani holds his own reputation in the business world as Chairman and Managing Director of the Reliance Group. Off the corporate stage, Anil's life twists with that of former Bollywood star Tina Munim . Interestingly, despite the family's prominence, his parents, Dhirubhai and Kokilaben Ambani, initially opposed their youngest son's choice to marry Tina. Anil's First Sight of Tina After finishing his MBA at Wharton in 1983, Anil noticed Tina for the first time at a wedding. Although there were no sparks of romance in that moment, Tina caught his attention right away. Anil later recalled that what made Tina memorable was her bold choice of wearing a black saree—a rare sight at a traditional Hindu wedding, making her stand out from the guests. They didn't interact during that occasion, but destiny moderated a few months later when a mutual friend introduced them in Philadelphia. At that meeting, however, Tina's experience as a popular actress led her to politely decline Anil's suggestion of a date, as she was already used to receiving attention from admirers. Rekindling Love and Family Opposition In a twist of destiny, Anil and Tina crossed paths again in 1986, thanks to an introduction by Tina's nephew, eager to connect two Gujaratis. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AirSense 11 – Smart tech for deep sleep ResMed Buy Now Undo Their first date sparked a quick connection, and their feelings grew rapidly. Yet, the developing romance hit a roadblock when Anil's parents discovered he was involved with a Bollywood actress. Holding strong reservations about the film industry, the Ambani family opposed the relationship, forcing Anil and Tina to part ways despite their deep affection. Separate Paths and Renewed Commitment After parting ways, Tina relocated to the United States to study interior design, and during this period, she and Anil lost contact. Their connection was renewed only when Anil reached out to check on her safety following an earthquake in Los Angeles. Although Tina was trying to move forward, Anil remained devoted, rejecting all other arranged marriage proposals for four years. Eventually, Anil's family relented and supported his decision to marry Tina. He then urged her to return to India. Hesitant at first, Tina delayed her return until Anil gave her an ultimatum: come back or he would sever communication. Faced with this, Tina returned, only to be warmly welcomed by Anil the very next day. Marriage plans had already been set with her family's approval, culminating in their traditional Gujarati wedding on February 2, 1991, an enduring tale of love, patience, and persistence against the odds. A Lasting Bond Anil and Tina have shared their lives for more than 30 years and are proud parents to two sons, Jai Anmol and Jai Anshul.

CAIT hails India-UK trade pact as major step forward for Indian traders, farmers
Agency: PTI New Delhi, Jul 24 (PTI) The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on Thursday welcomed the signing of the India–UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), calling it a major step forward for Indian commerce and a new gateway for small traders, farmers and manufacturers to enter global markets. The agreement will offer duty-free access to nearly 99 per cent of Indian goods exported to the UK. Key sectors like textiles, gems and jewellery, engineering goods and handicrafts are expected to gain from the move. 'This is more than just a trade pact; it is a transformational moment for Indian traders and farmers," said CAIT secretary general and Member of Parliament Praveen Khandelwal, adding that under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, Indian enterprise is stepping confidently onto the global stage. He said that a major feature of the agreement is the removal of tariffs on over 95 per cent of India's agricultural and processed food exports, including spices, turmeric, marine products and mango pulp. The move is expected to increase rural incomes and give a significant push to farm economy. Khandelwal added that the government has rightly protected sensitive sectors like dairy, showing a balanced approach that blends opportunity with caution. According to him, CAIT would actively support India's vast trader network in understanding and making use of the new trade framework. 'The FTA opens fresh opportunities for those who once viewed international trade as out of reach," he said, adding that it is not only about figures and exports, but about dignity, confidence, and building a stronger self-reliant India. The CAIT also added that the agreement will help boost employment, increase bilateral investments and support innovation and entrepreneurship in both countries. The India–UK FTA is being seen as a landmark in India's foreign trade policy and part of a broader effort to build a values-based and mutually beneficial economic partnership.
