Next year: Akshaya Tritiya 2027 – Saturday 8 May 2027

Akshaya Tritiya, Vaishakha Sukla Tritiya, is counted among the three and a half fully auspicious days (sade-teen muhurat) of the year: anything begun today is believed to grow without diminishing (akshaya). Gold and property purchases, new ventures and the annual Simhachalam Chandanotsavam, when the sandal paste on Varaha Narasimha is removed for the only darshan of the nija roopam, all fall on this day. Parasurama Jayanti is the same tithi.

Tithi timing

Sukla Thadiya begins 19 April 2026 at 10:49 AM IST and ends 20 April 2026 at 7:28 AM IST.

How the date is decided

Vaishakha sukla tritiya prevailing for the larger part of the daytime.

Almanacs differ when the tritiya begins after the forenoon and is still current at the next sunrise. This calendar takes the day the tritiya covers the larger part of the daytime; almanacs that require the tritiya in the forenoon (purvahna) or at sunrise take the next day. In 2026 both rules give 19 April. In 2027 the tritiya runs from 11:43 AM IST on 8 May to 9:03 AM on 9 May: 8 May here and in samvat.in, 9 May in prokerala.com.

Date by city

Different date in 9 of 215 cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Suva — the tithi is judged against each city's own sunrise and local time (daylight saving included), so the day can shift for cities far from India.
