When it covers the forenoon on both days, the later day is kept only if the Tṛtīyā lasts more than three muhūrtas into it; otherwise the earlier day is kept. The Nirṇaya-sindhu takes the later day in every such case; its day is shown where it differs. Dharmasindhu p. 36; Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 134

Questions
From the Dharmasindhu p. 36; Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 134, with the page for each.
When is Akshaya Tritiya 2027?
In Delhi, on Sunday, 9 May 2027, with the forenoon for the bath and gifts, 05:35 – 09:03. In London, New York City, Toronto and Dubai, it is Saturday, 8 May. Dharmasindhu p. 36
What time is the Akshaya Tritiya puja?
The texts set the bath, the barley homa and the gifts in the forenoon, sunrise to midday, while the Tṛtīyā runs: in Delhi in 2027, 05:35 – 09:03. The yugādi śrāddha is also done in the forenoon. Dharmasindhu p. 36
Do the texts say to buy gold on Akshaya Tritiya?
No. The texts prescribe giving. Gold appears among the gifts; buying gold, or buying anything, is not in the texts read. Vratarāja f. 44
Why do some calendars give another day?
When the Tṛtīyā covers the forenoon on both days, the Nirṇaya-sindhu always takes the later day. The Dharmasindhu takes the later only if the Tṛtīyā lasts more than three muhūrtas into it, and otherwise the earlier. This page follows the Dharmasindhu and shows the Nirṇaya-sindhu’s day beside it where they differ. Dharmasindhu p. 36; Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 134
When is Parshuram Jayanti 2027?
In Delhi, on Saturday, 8 May 2027, the day before Akshaya Tritiya: the Tṛtīyā covers the first watch of Saturday night and not of Sunday night. Paraśurāma is worshipped at pradoṣa and given the arghya, 18:59 – 21:06. Dharmasindhu p. 37
Why is the date different in the US or UK?
Akshaya Tritiya is decided by the Tṛtīyā in the forenoon at the city. The tithi begins and ends at the same moment everywhere, but sunrise and sunset come at different hours, so a city far to the west or east can keep another day. Dharmasindhu p. 36
How the day is found
Read the methodology- The day
- The Vaiśākha śukla Tṛtīyā covering the forenoon. When it covers both forenoons, the later day is kept only if the Tṛtīyā lasts more than three muhūrtas into it, and otherwise the earlier day (DS p. 36). The Nirṇaya-sindhu’s later day (p. 134; VR f. 43) is shown where it differs.
- Forenoon
- Sunrise to midday, the first half of the day, by the Dharmasindhu’s own definition (p. 36).
- Parshuram Jayanti
- The Tṛtīyā covering the night’s first watch: the earlier day if only its first watch is covered, else the later (DS p. 37). The first watch is a quarter of the night: our reading.
- Sunrise and sunset
- At the centre of the Sun’s disc, with refraction, for the chosen city. Every date is that city’s own.
