Akha Teej is the day for first things. A first coin, a first bar, a first piece for a daughter's trousseau. Every 999 silver piece is BIS-hallmarked, serial-numbered, dispatched from our Delhi NCR studio inside the muhurat itself.
Vishnu took the Parashurama avatar on Akshaya Tritiya. Sudama brought a handful of poha to Krishna and left with a city of gold. Veda Vyasa began dictating the Mahabharata to Ganesha on this very day. The Char Dham yatra opens with the doors of Badrinath swinging back on their silver hinges. Every story attached to Akha Teej shares the same grammar: small input, vast multiplication. Silver bought today is said to compound — not in interest, but in blessing.
From a- (not) and kshaya (decay). The Vedic word for that which does not deplete. Whatever is given, bought or begun today is said to multiply through every coming year.
The third tithi of Shukla Paksha in Vaishakha. Astronomy fixes the muhurat: the sun is exalted in Aries, the moon is in Rohini. The combination is considered the most auspicious of the year.
Unlike most festivals, Akshaya Tritiya is rated entirely by its buying window. In 2026 the prime muhurat in Delhi runs 5.49 am to 12.20 pm — silver bought inside this window carries the full blessing.
Hand-pressed 999 silver coin with Lakshmi on one face and Kuber on the reverse — the Akshaya Tritiya pairing. Available 10g to 100g, each with a BIS hallmark and velvet pouch.
Refined 999 fine silver bar with serial number, BIS hallmark and refinery card. Available 50g, 100g, 250g, 500g, 1kg. Bought as a hedge or held as an heirloom — both work.
Miniature 925 silver kalash with a coconut lid and four-faced Kuber base. Sized for the home mandir at 5 inches. Filled with rice grains and a coin, kept beside Lakshmi through the year.
Cast in 999 silver. Lakshmi seated on her lotus, Kuber on his lion, each 3.5 inches tall. Bought as a pair on Akha Teej and installed in the mandir after a Vastu puja.
Akshaya Tritiya is the one day to scale up — even a 10g coin counts as the muhurat purchase, but most buyers add a 100g bar at the same time. Quotes lock for 24 hours during the festival.

The first muhurat opens before dawn. A short Lakshmi-Kuber stotra at home, a diya at the mandir, intent set for the day's purchase.
The strongest muhurat in 2026. Coins, bars and murtis are bought now. Pieces are placed on the puja thali, sprinkled with gangajal, kept on red cloth till evening.
Daan — giving — multiplies on this day. Silver coins to parents, a piece to the daughter, food and clothes to the household help. The muhurat extends till 12.20.
Evening puja installs the new silver in the mandir. The Lakshmi Ashtottara, then the Kuber stuti. Coconut, modak, and the first new coin offered with the right hand.
“On every Akshaya Tritiya since 1991, my father bought one 100g silver bar and put it in a steel box with my name on it. He never told me. He gave the box to me on my wedding morning. Thirty-two bars. Some of them have his thumbprint set into the wax seal.”
Bars and coins should stay in their original capsules with the BIS card. Stack flat in a fire-rated safe. Avoid handling with bare fingers — cotton gloves prevent fingerprint etching.
Wipe the mandir silver with a dry microfibre weekly. Once a year, soak in lukewarm water with mild soap, rinse with filtered water, pat dry. Do not use polishing cloth on engraved surfaces.
Never store silver near camphor, rubber, or perfume. Tap water with high chlorine accelerates tarnish — use filtered water for the puja kalash. Coins in plastic ziplocks discolour faster than coins in cotton.
Akshaya Tritiya 2026 falls on Monday, 20 April. The auspicious buying muhurat in Delhi runs from 5.49 am to 12.20 pm. We open WhatsApp orders from 6 am on the day for instant weight slips and same-day NCR delivery on standing stock.
Akshaya means inexhaustible. The Puranas say anything bought, given or begun on this day grows without end. Silver, like gold, is considered Lakshmi's metal — buying even a small coin on this day is believed to multiply prosperity. It is the only day after Dhanteras when silver buying carries this specific blessing.
Most families buy a token 10g or 20g coin to mark the muhurat. Buyers treating silver as an investment go straight to 100g or 1kg bars. For corporate gifting and weddings, 25g and 50g coins are the standard. We can quote any weight from 5g upward.
Yes. Our 999 silver bars (50g, 100g, 250g, 500g, 1kg) carry the BIS hallmark and a serial number stamped at the assaying centre. They are accepted by jewellers and banks for resale at the prevailing IBJA rate, less a small refining margin.
We quote against the IBJA spot price at the time of confirmation. Because Akshaya Tritiya rates move sharply, we lock the quote for 24 hours instead of the usual 14 days. Making charges are transparent and itemised.
Yes — and it is considered especially auspicious. Akshaya Tritiya gifting traditions include silver coins to parents, a silver bar to a daughter on her first job, a Lakshmi-Kuber murti to a new household, or silver baby spoons for a recent grandchild.
