Start Something That Will Grow
In Sanskrit, Akshaya means “never diminishing.” On this day, it’s believed that anything you start—whether a new project, investment, or act of kindness—will continue to grow. That’s why it’s seen as the perfect time to begin something important.

- Recite the mantra “Om Gan Ganapataye Namaha” for success and positivity.
