According to Hindu Mythology, Akshaya Tritiya is the D-day when Lord Vishnu was reincarnated as Lord Parashurama. This was called the sixth avatar of Vishnu.

Another story associated with this day is the tale of Sudama, the beloved childhood friend of Lord Krishna who visited the latter with a humble offering of Poha (flattened rice, an Indian breakfast), that turned to gold receiving Lord Krishna’s blessings.
