Sunday is Akshaya Tritiya when Hindus many purchase gold and silver. The day is celebrated on Tritya Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaishakha. An episode from the Mahabharata recounts how the Pandavas, during exile, faced a food crisis when a visiting sage arrived with hundreds of followers. With no provisions left, Draupadi prayed to Krishna, who miraculously turned a single grain of rice into the Akshaya Patra—an inexhaustible vessel that fed all guests, giving rise to a popular expression symbolising abundance.
The Siddhivinayak temple stated that all items will be displayed for public viewing at the temple premises prior to the auction. The process will be conducted in accordance with government rules and regulations.
Also Watch:
In addition to gold ornaments, silver bricks and other items of high purity will also be made available for sale during the auction.
