Akshaya Tritiya: Akshaya Tritiya was the day when Satya Yuga ended and Treta Yuga began. Vaishakha Shukla Tritiya known as Akshay Tritiya. On this auspicious day, Tila tarpana and Udaka Kumbh are performed for the ancestors.
Tila Tarpan means offering Tila (sesame seeds) to the Deities and ancestors. Water offered to ancestors is called Pitru tarpana. Offer Brahman bhojan (offering meal to Brahman). By doing tarpana, ancestors are satisfied. Deities are offered white til, and ancestors are offered black til.
Many wandering souls come to receive the tarpan; they get energy through the Tila tarpana and attain momentum for further journey.
Akshay Tritiya is of special significance to women. On this day, they worship the goddess Gowri (Chaitra Gowri). Suvasini (married women) offer each other Haldi-kumkum on Tuesday or Friday between Chaitra Sukla Tritiya and Vaishakha Sukla Tritiya.
Offering Suvasini tambulam to a Sumangali will bestow lasting bliss and a happy marriage. The offering made on this day is everlasting.
Most important Daana which is offered is UDAKA KUMBHA daana. A pot filled with water to quench the thirst of ancestors.
We should not buy GOLD on this day because the Kali Purusha resides in gold.
Other daana's recommended are fans, umbrellas, shoes/ footwear, etc., on the day of Akshay Tritiya for ancestors' sake.
