Thousands of devotees thronged Prayagraj's Sangam on Akshaya Tritiya for a sacred bath and prayers for family prosperity and national well-being.

"Taking a dip today is considered very sacred and brings blessings through prayers. - Devotee"

New Delhi, April 19

A large number of devotees gathered at the sacred Sangam in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, on Sunday to take a holy dip and offer prayers on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya and Parshuram Jayanti.

The spiritually significant day witnessed people from different parts of the country arriving early in the morning to participate in rituals believed to bring prosperity and blessings.

Devotees described the occasion as highly auspicious. "It is an auspicious occasion. We have come to the Sangam for a holy bath. Taking a dip today is considered very sacred and brings blessings through prayers. Today is a very auspicious day, and we pray for the happiness and prosperity of our families. We have come here with the wish that everyone remains happy and well," one devotee told IANS.

Another devotee emphasised the importance of well-being, saying, "I prayed for my family, for my nation's health and prosperity, because health is everything."

Highlighting the tradition of charity associated with the festival, a third devotee said, "As today is Akshaya Tritiya, we performed charity. Doing charity on this day is believed to bring greater rewards."

Meanwhile, in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, special prayers were held at the revered Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple on the occasion of Vaishakh Shukla Tritiya. Devotees participated in a special aarti, marking the spiritual significance of the day across different regions of the country.

Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is considered one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu and Jain calendars. The word "Akshaya" signifies "eternal" or "never-diminishing", and it is widely believed that any good deed or investment made on this day yields lasting benefits. Purchasing precious metals such as gold and silver is a common tradition, as it is thought that wealth acquired on this day will never diminish.

Across regions, the day was being marked by spiritual fervour, with devotees emphasising faith, charity, and collective prayers for harmony and happiness.

Akshaya Tritiya always brings such positive energy. My family also performed a small puja at home and donated some groceries to a local shelter. The emphasis on charity (daan) is the most important part for me. Wishing prosperity for all!

While the spiritual aspect is beautiful, I hope the local administration in Prayagraj ensured proper crowd management and cleanliness. Large gatherings at the ghats sometimes lead to littering, which harms the sacred river. Faith and responsibility should go hand-in-hand.

The devotee who prayed for the nation's health really resonates. After the tough years we've had, collective prayers for the well-being of everyone in the country are so needed. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

My parents always buy a small piece of gold on Akshaya Tritiya. It's less about the investment and more about the shubh muhurat and the belief in eternal prosperity. Good to see the traditions being followed with such devotion across India.
