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.

The file festivals.txt (a part of Vcal package) doesn't mention Aksaya

tritiya.

 

 

Hope this helps.
