Akshaya Tritiya (अक्षय तृतीया) is one extremely rare and fortuitous day in the Hindu calendar. Known as Tritiya, this holy day fell on the third day of the half month of light April-May-Vaishakha. Akshaya means never fading or eternal, so any noble act done on this day yields endless unending consequences. Historical and mythological significance. Matsariki transforms from being simply a day of celebration and reflection to one of great literary value. Matsarikiki goes from simply a day of revelry and contemplation to one of significant literary merit. 

Akshaya Tritiya saw many very significant events in Hinduism occurred: According Hindu cosmology, Treta Yuga—the second of four cosmic ages—started on this day. The Bhagavata Purana (3.11.19) outlines the cyclical character of these cosmic ages and associates Treta Yuga as the second age during which, though slightly from its perfection in Satya Yuga, virtue starts to deteriorate.

Lord Vishnu's sixth incarnation, Parashurama was born on this day. Parashurama, the warrior incarnation, is recorded in the Srimad Bhagavatam to have restored cosmic balance by vanquishing the despotic rulers. (9.15.1-19). 

Sage Vyasa Began Writing the Mahabharata: Some claim that he started this great work on Akshaya Tritiya. This is also written down within the Mahabharata itself (Adi Parva 1.52-54). The Gangavataran occurred on this day: the River Ganges descended to Earth. The happenings that via King Bhagiratha's penance brought the divine river to earth are noted in the Ramayana (Bala Kanda 42-44) and Srimad Bhagavatam (9.9.2-7).

Kubera Received Wealth: It is said that deity of wealth Kubera received the treasures and position like divine treasurer on Issued this day. Padma Purana has references to Kubera's wealth connecting to Akshaya Tritiya. According to the Skanda Purana, Akshaya Tritiya is of great spiritual value since it says: "देवा ऋषयः सिद्धाः तृतीयायां युगादिषु। अक्षयत्वं प्रपन्नास्ते तस्मादक्षयतृतीया॥"; - "The gods, sages, and perfected beings attained immortality on this Tritiya of the beginning of the age, hence it is called Akshaya Tritiya." (Skanda Purana, Vaishnava Khanda)

"वैशाखे शुभदाय त्रीते तु स्मृतः अयक्षया सा तिथिः प्रोक्ता पुण्यदा मुक्तिदा तथा॥" -"The third day of the bright fortnight of Vaishakha has been remembered to be auspicious. It is called Akshaya Tritiya and bestows merit and liberation." (Bhavishya Purana, Uttara Parva) The Matsya Purana (274.5) declares: "दानं दत्तं हविर्हुतम. अक्षयं भवति प्रोक्तं तृतीयायां विशेषतः."  

This is also called Charity-Dana: Giving to the needy is counted to be particularly meritorious. On Tritiya particularly charity given and oblations offered become boundless. The day's particular connection is Lord Vishnu worship. The Narada Purana claims that those who perform puja for Vishnu on Tritiya will have the most benefit. Starting new enterprises: The eternal never-diminishing quality of this day makes it a pretty good day. 

Varahamihira's Brihat Samhita (2.15-18) deals with propitious times for fresh starts. Though not expressly stated in the old texts, buying gold has grown to symbolize eternal wealth and become a way of living in the society. For some people, fasting in only after-evening prayers help to put them in order. The Dharmasindhu, a dharmashastra book, has this fasting practice for Akshaya Tritiya. 

For those seeking or converting to Hinduism, Akshaya Tritiya is a lovely opportunity to grasp Hindu ideals: Grow Spiritually: The day states that every spiritual investment is permanently worthwhile. One could think of reading holy writings, such the Bhagavad Gita, as well as meditation.

Charitable Giving:  According to some beliefs, even the tiniest acts done on this day are magnified. The Bhagavad Gita (17.20-22) proceeds to describe how the proper intent influences charity gifts. Fresh Start: New Introduction into Hinduism: Good deeds started on that day will supposedly grow. So, Akshaya Tritiya is the optimum day for a promise. It therefore has to be apparent that spiritual riches is real treasure while everything else is fading; moreover, through righteous behavior, charitable donation, and spiritual practice an individual encounters the same success this holiday symbolizes.
