Akshaya Tritiya is a Jain festival that honors the first Tirthankara, Rishabhanatha. It marks the day he ended his long fast by receiving sugarcane juice poured into his cupped hands. In Śvetāmbara tradition this fasting period is described as 400 days; in Digambara tradition it is said to be six months. After breaking the fast, Jains commonly focus on charity, donations, and acts of service.

Key points:

• Śvetāmbara view: varshitapa fast lasting 400 days; sugarcane juice breaks the fast.
• Digambara view: the fast lasts six months; similar practice of breaking with juice.
• The day is seen as auspicious for charitable acts, helping others, and starting new constructive efforts.
