Akshaya Tritiya is one of the most auspicious days of the year — a divine time to begin new ventures, offer heartfelt service, and seek the eternal blessings of Lord Krishna . 🌿✨
🕉️ The Glories of Akshaya Tritiya:
1. Appearance Day of Lord Parashurama 🔱
2. Descent of Mother Ganga to Earth 🌊
3. Maharshi Veda Vyasa began composing the Mahabharata 📜
4. The Pandavas received the Akshaya Patra from the Sun God ☀️
