Vishu
Akshaya Trithiya falls on the third day of the bright half of Vaishakh month. In Sanskrit, the word 'Akshaya' means that which does not diminish. It is believed that initiations made or valuables bought on this day are considered to bring success or good fortune.
On this day, Lord Surya and Lord Chandra are most radiant and best placed on Akshaya Trithiya day which makes it very auspicious. Parasurama Jayanti and Balarama Jayanti fall on Akshaya Trithiya Day. It is on this day that Guru Adi Shankaracharya recited Sri Kanakadhara Stavam.
Akshaya Trithiya is also known as Akha Teej. The festival is celebrated with much fervour in India, especially in the North. People worship Godess Lakshmi and Lord Kubera and offer the following dishes in prayer:
