AKSHYA TRITIYA


AKSHYA TRITIYA

The belief is that things initiated on Akshaya Tritiya day, like purchasing valuables or starting new ventures will bring good luck and success. Traditionally, the day is observed as the birth day of Lord Parasurama, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
It is also believed that the wedding of Goddess Meenakshi with Lord Sundareswarar on this day. Given the religious back drop of the day, some temples in the state also sold gold and silver coins to devotees. Devotees were asked to register in advance. In this day most showrooms were packed with customers right from morning.
