Silver purchase on Akshaya Tritiya

That will bless us with increased wealth and prosperity this year, really ?

20250429_200118.jpg

Today is Akshaya Tritiya, celebrated as an an auspicious day on which people invest in new ventures or buy silver and gold with a belief that, it will bring increased wealth and prosperity. "Akshaya" means "never diminishing", "Tritiya" means "third phase of the moon", so it's the third lunar day of the Vaisakha month in our Hindu calendar (spring month) and it's believed that Goddess Lakshmi was born on this day, and purchasing jewellery (gold or silver) will please her inviting lifelong abundance - ya, that's the theory that the mother and daughter duo used to convince me. This is the very first time, I agreed to their conspiracy and you know where the gold price is now, so we made a deal to go ahead with a little silver purchase.

We have this trusted silver jewellery store near to us, where we often go, so that was our obvious choice. The good part of going to the same shop is that, they can exchange without any additional verification, as these ornaments bear their tiny stamp somewhere. Now they even don't look at that as they know us by face - that's the trust we have built. They usually don't allow to take any photographs, but we are given some special treatments, as I wrote an exclusive blog on them and shared as part of my google review which has gathered thousands of views since then.

Our daughter picked this beautiful pair after searching through many options.

The lady picked some toe rings, she wears them for some time, and then exchange - women always prefer to wear new designs - may be that's in-built in their gene. You can never argue over that and win, so better to surrender :)

Akshaya Tritiya is also considered to be the day of new beginnings, with a lot of other significance. As per our legends, Lord Krishna blessed Draupadi with the Akshaya Patra (a vessel that is inexhaustible) to make sure that the Pandavas will always have food as per their wish, generated by that vessel. And it's a very special day for our farmers, as they commence the sowing of rice paddy, after a ritual worship of mother Earth. May be I will share a post on that when I get opportunity to capture some moments in the rural. And today marks the commencement of construction of chariots for the world famous Rath Yatra (Car Festival) at Lord Jagannath's temple, Puri. These chariots are rebuilt from scratch every year, symbolizing the renewal of the divine presence, so you can understand how important and auspicious this day is. Our traditions, culture and belief are so powerful to bless us to lead a happy and meaningful life - of late I am exploring a lot about them, the source of true inner peace and happiness.

"Your smile shines brighter than the silver — is that the magic of Akshaya Tritiya?"

Wow, that looks like a really cool place. I have a store that sell silver near where I live, but it is very small compared to this!

Well in India, ladies have a very strong affinity with jewellery and they are the biggest investor of gold, you will find gold / silver jewellery in every house - together the Indian ladies hold more gold than the Reserve bank. That is the reason, we have so big stores with some incredible designs.

I could really feel the warmth of your family bond and your deep respect for traditions through your post. And the the way you described Akshaya Tritiya and its cultural importance made me appreciate it even better. Nothing sweet pass tradition, Hahaha.

I'm elated at how your daughter chose her piece and how your wife loves to change designs, so real and cool.

They convinced me this time, earlier I used to deny but this time they won, I am sure, this will now go on :) As we grow older, the lady takes control and gents become silent - and now I feel why it's wise to be silent.

It is just like this, when we have to buy something, we should go to a shop that we trust because if we get cheated there, we will be very sad and worried. This shop is very beautiful and if they are giving good quality products to their customers, they will be more famous.

Good choice of "Silver" friend because it is more economical and at the same time also allows you to obtain the blessing for wealth and prosperity this year

Silver jewellery is beautiful ... Just surrender lol! Toe rings are cute and Mrs T tends to wear a silver toe ring and nose ring. What a great tradition that is.

Here toe rings are symbol of a married woman, so you can't say NO by any chance. And the amount of designs that evolve rapidly tempts them to buy new ones - loosing a little on exchange.
