This date has passed; see the next edition below.
What this day is
The 'undiminishing third' (a day whose merit is said never to decay) on the third lunar day of the bright half of Vaishakha. It is counted among the most auspicious days of the year for beginnings.
How families observe it at home
Families traditionally begin new ventures, make gold or other lasting purchases, and above all give: dana done today is considered akshaya, imperishable. A simple family practice is for each member to give something meaningful to a cause they choose themselves.
