Aksaya-tritiya Commemorates the beginning of Satya yuga. Auspicious day to start a new project. On this day sesame was created for the purpose of yajna. One could perform a yajna and offer sesame. www.veda.harekrsna.cz/encyclopedia/festivals.htm The file festivals.txt (a part of Vcal package) doesn't mention Aksaya tritiya. Hope this helps.
