Patna : Bihar is set to celebrate Akshaya Tritiya today, a day of spiritual significance believed to bring eternal prosperity. The auspicious occasion, considered ideal for new beginnings, is a time when acts of devotion and charity are said to yield lasting merit.
Muhurat and Rituals
The most auspicious timing for prayers and purchases falls between 5:45 AM and 12:20 AM. Temples will be filled with devotees offering prayers, lighting lamps, and seeking blessings for the future. For many, this is the ideal time to buy gold, considered a sacred symbol of wealth and prosperity.
Gold Prices and Alternatives
Gold in Patna remains steady at Rs 95,160 per 10 grams. However, alongside traditional gold, many are turning to digital gold or silver coins as an alternative way to mark the occasion. “While gold remains the top choice, silver and digital gold are also increasingly popular,” says a local jeweller.
Acts of Charity
Charity is central to Akshaya Tritiya. Across Bihar, people will feed the poor, donate clothes, and offer prayers for the welfare of others. In Patna, Mahavir Mandir will host a massive free food distribution, embodying the spirit of giving that defines the day.
A Day for New Beginnings
Whether it’s investing in gold, giving to charity, or simply reflecting on one’s life, Akshaya Tritiya offers a chance for spiritual renewal and connection with the divine. It’s a time to start fresh, embrace good deeds, and invite blessings into one’s life.
