Akshaya Tritiya 2026

Akshaya Tritiya falls on Sunday, 19 April 2026 (New Delhi).

Akshaya Tritiya, Vaishakha Shukla Tritiya, is held to give 'imperishable' results to good deeds begun on it. It is a popular day for buying gold, starting ventures, weddings and charity, and is considered auspicious all day.

Dates

How the date is set

It is kept in the lunar month of Vaishakha, Shukla paksha Tritiya, on the day of the tithi prevailing at sunrise (udaya tithi). If the tithi lasts less than three muhurtas after sunrise, the previous day is taken.

Lunar months here are amanta (new moon to new moon); in the purnimanta reckoning used in much of North India, the Krishna paksha belongs to the next month. Communities follow their own rules for some festivals, so a local almanac may keep a few on a neighbouring day.

Dates are computed with this site's panchang (Lahiri ayanamsa) for New Delhi. Times of sunrise and the tithi differ by place, so a date can shift by a day for cities far from Delhi; the calendar pages recalculate for your city. All festivals →
