Akshaya Tritiya: Dos and don’t to celebrate most auspicious day

The highly anticipated occasion of Akshaya Tritiya has arrived once again, bringing with it immense significance for the Hindu community across the nation. This day is special because it is observed with great zeal and splendour. It commemorates the day that Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma bestowed upon Lord Kuber their divine gifts and gives him the responsibility of watching over heavenly treasures. On this auspicious day, devotees honour numerous gods, such as Lord Ganesha, Lord Vishnu, and Goddess Lakshmi.
