Akshaya Tritiya silver. That which cannot diminish.
Akha Teej is the day for first things. A first silver idol, a first decor piece, a gift that marks a daughter's milestone. Every statement pieces piece is silver-plated and certified, dispatched from our Delhi NCR studio inside the muhurat itself.
Why this day, why silver.
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.
Inexhaustible
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 day
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.
The window
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.
Four ways to mark the muhurat.
Ganesha Shankh with Stand
Silver-plated Ganesha from the statement pieces. The Akshaya Tritiya classic — bought during the muhurat and placed on the puja shelf as a promise of inexhaustible abundance.
Tirupati Balaji Idol
Silver-plated Lakshmi Ji from the statement range. Hand-finished with fine detail. Installed in the mandir on Akha Teej morning — the anchor of any prosperity puja.
Ganesha Shankh with Stand
A silver-plated Ganesha seated on a shankh with a sturdy stand. Sized for the home mandir. Filled with rice grains and kept beside the idols through the year.
Ram Darbar
Silver-plated Ram Darbar from the statement range. Bought on Akha Teej and installed in the mandir after a Vastu puja. A heirloom piece that grows in meaning with each passing year.
From puja idol to heirloom decor.
Akshaya Tritiya is the one day to begin something lasting. Choose a statement piece for the mandir or a silver-plated idol as a gift. Quotes lock for 24 hours during the festival.

Inside the buying window.
Brahma muhurat
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.
Prime buying window
The strongest muhurat in 2026. Silver idols and puja pieces are bought now. Pieces are placed on the puja thaal, sprinkled with gangajal, kept on red cloth till evening.
Daan & extension
Daan — giving — multiplies on this day. A silver piece to parents, a larger idol to a daughter, food and clothes to the household help. The muhurat extends till 12.20.
Lakshmi puja
Evening puja installs the new silver in the mandir. The Lakshmi Ashtottara, then the Kuber stuti. Coconut, modak, and the new silver piece offered with the right hand.
“On every Akshaya Tritiya since 1991, my father bought one silver piece 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 pieces. Some of them have his thumbprint set into the wrapping.”
Holding silver for the long term.
Storing larger pieces
Silver-plated pieces should stay in their original packaging with the certificate. Keep in a dry cupboard or fire-rated safe. Avoid handling with bare fingers — cotton gloves prevent fingerprint marks.
Idol & puja piece care
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 detailed surfaces.
What to avoid
Never store silver near camphor, rubber, or perfume. Tap water with high chlorine accelerates tarnish — use filtered water when rinsing puja pieces. Silver stored in plastic discolours faster than silver stored in cotton.
Everything to know before the muhurat.
When is Akshaya Tritiya in 2026 and what is the buying muhurat?
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, with same-day across Delhi NCR on ready-stock pieces, for orders confirmed before 2 PM.
Why buy silver on Akshaya Tritiya?
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 piece on this day is believed to multiply prosperity. It is the only day after Dhanteras when silver buying carries this specific blessing.
What piece should I buy?
Most families choose a larger idol to mark the muhurat — a Ganesha or Tirupati Balaji Idol for the puja shelf. Others choose a silver-plated decor piece like the Maharani Horse or Do Hanso Ka Joda as a lasting reminder of the day.
What are your larger statement pieces?
Our larger pieces — idols, decorative figures and wall frames — are silver-plated over a base metal and hand-finished. Each ships with a studio note confirming the piece, its dimensions and its weight.
How is pricing fixed on Akshaya Tritiya?
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.
Can I gift silver on this day to my family?
Yes — and it is considered especially auspicious. Akshaya Tritiya gifting traditions include a larger idol to parents, a silver-plated decor piece like the Jaipur Polo Horse Duo to a daughter on her first job, or a Ganesha to a new household.
