One of the most auspicious days according to Vedic astrology, Akshaya Tritiya can bring you lots of good luck, prosperity and wealth. You should indulge in kind deeds and use this positive energy for the good. Though this auspicious day is mostly associated with buying gold, there are other things to do on Akshaya Tritiya that are considered equally auspicious.

Buy Gold

Donate Stuff

This is the day which multiplies the positive impact of your kind deeds. You should either donate food, clothes, books or money to people in need. You can also fund a child’s education (if you are capable enough). Not just humans, try feeding street animals with love and compassion.

Perform Puja
