New Delhi: Akshaya Tritiya, one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar, will be observed on Sunday, April 19, 2026. The Tritiya Tithi (third lunar day) of Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaishakha begins on the morning of April 19 and extends until approximately 7:27 AM IST on April 20.
The word 'Akshaya' means 'never diminishing' in Sanskrit. Any new venture, investment, or charitable act undertaken on this day is believed to yield eternal, ever-growing results — making it the most sought-after date for gold purchases, property investments, and launching new businesses.
Best Muhurtham Timings for April 19, 2026
Akshaya Tritiya is traditionally considered an 'Abujh Muhurat' — meaning the entire day is inherently auspicious and free from negative planetary influences. Unlike other festivals, you do not need to wait for a specific window; any time during the Tritiya Tithi is considered favourable.
However, for those seeking the most auspicious windows within the day, astrologers have identified these timings:
- Morning Muhurat: 10:49 AM to 12:20 PM IST — considered ideal for gold purchases and Lakshmi Puja
- Afternoon Muhurat: 1:58 PM to 3:35 PM IST — suitable for property deals and new investments
- Evening Muhurat: 6:49 PM to 10:57 PM IST — auspicious for charity and spiritual practices
Since the Tritiya Tithi extends into the early morning of April 20, purchases made before 7:27 AM on the 20th are also considered valid.
