Akshaya Tritiya: Akshaya Tritiya was the day when Satyayuga ended and Tretayuga began. Vaishakha Shukla Tritiya known as Akshay Tritiya. On this auspicious day, tila tarpana and Udaka Kumbh are performed to ancestors.
Til-tarpaan means offering til (sesame seeds) Deities and ancestors. Water offered to ancestors is called as Pitru-tarpana and offer Brahman-bhojan (offer meal to Brahman). By doing tarpana, ancestors are satisfied. Deities are offered white til and ancestors are offered black til.
Many wondering souls come to receive the tarpanam, they get energy through the til-tarpana and also attain momentum for further journey.
