Tritiya is lunar day 3 of each fortnight (in both the waxing Shukla and waning Krishna paksha). A tithi is a lunar "day" — the time the Moon takes to move 12° further from the Sun. This page covers its presiding deity, meaning, mythology and traditional observances.
Sacred to Gauri, the radiant bride. Akshaya Tritiya, the 'undecaying third', is deemed so intrinsically auspicious that no muhurta need be checked — a belief from the Puranic dana-dharma literature.
Gauri puja, dana (giving); gold-buying custom on Akshaya Tritiya is a modern extension of its 'undecaying' fame.
