Do you know why
we have the habit of buying gold on akshaya tritiya?
Actually India
is a land of multiple religions and traditions, where people from all faiths
come together to celebrate events. All festivals and celebrations in the
country are incomplete without a touch of opulence, be it in the form of music,
food, dance or gold.
Akshaya Tritiya
is an extremely auspicious day in our country, with Hindus and Jains across different
denominations celebrating it with fervour. Falling in the month of Vaisakha, it
is considered to be one among the four most important days in the Hindu
calendar.
Akshaya Tritiya
is believed to be an extremely good day to embark on new journeys, with any new
venture undertaken on this day assured to grow and bring happiness and
prosperity to people.
We know that
Indians love gold, with the country being one of the biggest consumers of gold
in the world. While the country has gold reserves of over 550 tonnes, the total
gold in the country is estimated to be over 20,000 tonnes.
Given this
addiction to gold, it is safe to say that Indians don’t really need an occasion
to purchase it, but any auspicious day just adds to our love for gold, with
sales peaking during Akshaya Tritiya.
Actually investing
in gold on this day heralds the start of a new beginning. You know if Mythologically
speaking, Kubera, the treasurer in Heaven received his wealth on this day from
Siva. It is on this day Lord Siva blessed Goddess Lakshmi with wealth. In fact
Lord Siva made Kubera as Lord of wealth and Lakshmi as Goddess of wealth. Lord
Sri Krishna visited Pandavas and blessed Draupathi with the Akshaya Patram.
So it’s believed
that whatever good things you do on that day are blessed…Let it be buying gold,
starting new venture or anything. But more than all feeding the poor is the
most important charitable act.
Do you want
reason to buy gold? We women don’t need reason to buy gold, if reason is
readily available then why not we use it…
Hopes for akashaya
tritiya you are going to purchase gold for sure, isn’t it ?
