Akshaya Tritiya 2025:
Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is an important Hindu festival that will be celebrated on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. This day is believed to bring wealth, prosperity, and good luck. Many people consider it a perfect time to buy gold, silver, and other valuable items.
According to religious beliefs, buying gold on Akshaya Tritiya is considered very lucky. In 2025, the most favorable time to buy gold is between 5:41 AM and 12:18 PM. These hours are known as the muhurat – a time when positive energy is believed to be at its highest.
This year, the prices of gold and silver have gone up significantly. Gold is now selling at around ₹1,00,000 for 10 grams, compared to ₹73,500 last year. Silver has also seen a rise and is priced at ₹1,00,000 per kilogram, which is higher than last year’s ₹86,000.
Despite high prices, gold and silver sales are expected to be strong. Experts estimate that around 12 tonnes of gold worth ₹12,000 crore will be sold. In addition, 400 tonnes of silver worth ₹4,000 crore may also be sold. This brings the total business expected on Akshaya Tritiya to about ₹16,000 crore.
The word “Akshaya” means “never-ending” or “eternal.” On this day, people believe that any good deed or purchase made will bring long-term benefits. Many also perform charity, worship Lord Vishnu, and remember their ancestors. When Akshaya Tritiya falls on a Wednesday with Rohini Nakshatra, it is considered even more auspicious.
Akshaya Tritiya is not only a day for religious rituals but also a time to make meaningful investments. Whether buying gold or giving to charity, the acts performed on this day are believed to bring lasting blessings.
