Akshaya Tritiya 2025: What to buy this year beyond gold

Akshaya Tritiya, falling on April 30, 2025, is celebrated as a symbol of prosperity, wealth, and new beginnings.  Traditionally, buying gold and silver on this day is believed to invite fortune and abundance.

However, with gold prices soaring to record highs, touching Rs 1 lakh per 10 grams on April 22, many may look for other meaningful alternatives. Thankfully, there are several auspicious purchases you can consider that carry deep spiritual significance while being budget-friendly:

1. Silver Items: Silver remains a powerful symbol of wealth and purity. Buying silver coins, jewellery, idols, or utensils on Akshaya Tritiya is believed to bring prosperity and positive energy into homes.

2. Earthen Pots: Purchasing 'mitti ka ghadha' (earthen pots) is considered highly auspicious. It not only honours Mother Earth but also promotes sustainability and abundance in the household.

3. Tulsi Plant: The Tulsi plant, regarded as sacred and a form of Maa Lakshmi, is believed to attract blessings, health, and prosperity. Buying and planting Tulsi on Akshay Tritiya can invite positive energy into your home.

4. Utensils: Buying new utensils, whether a simple copper pot, brass plate, or even stainless-steel items, is a traditional practice. It signifies nourishment, family well-being, and good fortune.

5. Rock Salt: Rock salt is seen as a symbol of purity and protection. Keeping a piece of rock salt at home is believed to ward off negativity and cleanse the atmosphere, making it a thoughtful and spiritual purchase for Akshay Tritiya.

While gold remains a traditional favourite, Akshaya Tritiya is about inviting abundance in all forms. Whether you invest in silver, buy a Tulsi plant, or bring home simple yet meaningful items like utensils and rock salt, your mindful purchases can align with the spirit of prosperity and ensure blessings for years to come.
