Akshaya Tritiya 2025 history

According to Hindu mythology, during the exile of the Pandavas, Lord Krishna made an unexpected visit to them. Draupadi, their spouse, who had not arranged a grand banquet to receive him, begged for his forgiveness by falling at his feet. In reply, Lord Krishna took a solitary strand of herb from the food bowl and forgave her.

He subsequently granted the Pandavas the Akshaya Patra, an enchanted vessel that would always be filled with food or offerings. Another tale indicates that Akshaya Tritiya marks the day when Lord Kuber, after obtaining blessings from Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma, was assigned the duty of safeguarding the riches of heaven.
