Importance of Akshaya Tritiya Puja

[Rameshk]

Akshaya Tritiya is an astrologically significant and important festival for wealth. Akshaya means "not decreasing". This is a time when you nurture and cultivate the concept of non-declining or non-decreasing wealth which most people don't usually think about. On this day, Grand Lakshmi Kubera Puja is done which will help you to gather positive energy in body,mind and soul for taking the right action at the right time to get maximum positive results. In this puja Kubera the Banker in Heaven, is asked to review and return your lost accounts and goddess Lakshmi to give you the blessings of never decreasing wealth.

Astrologically significant? Is the date by the stars or the event?

Many festivals are regional in nature, and I've never heard of this one. Today is also Ganesha Chaturthi, one of the most widely practiced festivals in all of India, especially in Mumbai, where massive clay statues of our beloved Lord Ganesha are immersed in the sea.

Yes, the date of Akshaya Tritiya depends on stars which is why this puja is done on different day each year.

This puja is done only on Akshaya Tritiya day which comes once in each year. As for being on region in nature, its true there are many festivals celebrate only in certain regions only. And most of time they are know with different names.
