In Singapore, Akshaya Tritiya is celebrated on the 8th of May 2008. On this day, it is said that there is no need to look for a good muhurtham to start off any auspicious work as the entire day itself is auspicious!. To summarize, it’s a believed that during this day :

– Kuchela visited Krishna in Dwarka with a handful of beaten rice (aval)  – (Krishna Avatharam)

– The Pandavas received the Akshaya Pathram (bowl) from Lord Krishna – (Mahabharatam)

– Parashurama Jayanti is celebrated
