Why the Akshaya Tritiya muhurat matters
The whole day is auspicious, so no strict muhurat is required; devotees nonetheless prefer the day's Abhijit Muhurat and good Choghadiya windows (shown below) for puja and for buying gold, which is the day's signature tradition.
Do's
- Perform Lakshmi-Vishnu puja and buy gold within the Abhijit or good-Choghadiya window shown below.
- Begin new ventures, investments or charitable giving (daan).
- Offer water and sattu, traditional to the day.
Don'ts
- Avoid the Rahu Kaal / Yamaghanda windows for a formal muhurat.
- Don't treat purchases as merely material; the day emphasises daan and dharma.
