We do not list festival dates here, because they change every year with the panchang. We have gold and silver coins; see gold and silver coins.

Akshaya Tritiya

Gold is the traditional purchase. People commonly choose gold coins, a small chain or a pair of earrings, or begin a bigger piece they have been planning.

See: Gold jewellery

Dhanteras

Coins are the classic: gold and silver coins, and silver articles for the pooja. Many families also buy a silver lamp or a pooja plate.
