List Of Items You Can Buy Other Than Gold To Bring Good Luck
Although buying gold has traditionally been associated with Akshaya Tritiya, it’s not the only auspicious investment. There are several other valuable items you can consider buying that are believed to attract wealth, growth, and prosperity. If you’re planning to make a special purchase this Akshaya Tritiya, here are some meaningful alternatives which are worth exploring:
- Silver: Silver holds a sacred place in Hindu culture and is considered a symbol of wealth and purity. Just like gold, purchasing silver on Akshaya Tritiya is said to enhance prosperity and draw abundance into the household. You may opt for silver coins, jewellery, idols of deities, utensils, or decorative items.
- Property Or Land: Real estate purchases made on this day are believed to receive divine blessings from Lord Vishnu, Goddess Lakshmi, and Lord Kuber—the gods of protection, wealth, and treasures. Buying a house, plot, or commercial space is considered an investment that will multiply in value and bring lasting happiness.
- Vehicles: Whether it’s a new car or a two-wheeler, acquiring a vehicle on Akshaya Tritiya is viewed as a sign of advancement and good fortune. It is believed to ensure smooth travels, safety, and success in all journeys—both literal and metaphorical.
- Clothes: Wearing or gifting new garments on Akshaya Tritiya is a symbolic way to invite freshness, positive energy, and prosperity into your life. Traditional attire like sarees, kurtas, or even simple new clothes for daily wear are thought to bring in good vibrations.
- Earthen Pots and Storage Items: Investing in clay pots, grain jars, or traditional containers is seen as an act of ensuring your home remains well-stocked and abundant. These symbolic items are believed to attract good harvests, stable income, and financial security.
- Books and Educational Materials: Acquiring new books or enrolling in a course on this day is seen as a tribute to Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge and wisdom. It reflects a commitment to personal growth, learning, and intellectual wealth.
- Kitchen Utensils: Purchasing new utensils, especially those made of metals like brass, copper, or stainless steel, is a long-standing tradition in many Indian households during Akshaya Tritiya. These items signify nourishment, sustenance, and the well-being of a family.
