It is described in various Puranas that the good deeds done on this day including bathing, almsgiving, meditation and chanting will never be destroyed. Since barley is similar to nectar in the summer of Satu and Vaishakh, it is a tradition from Vedic times to donate and eat it yourself.

Such donations are also made to the helpless and destitute. It is believed that Aradhyadeva Mahadev and Parvati, the daughter of Himalayas, got married in the Satya Yuga today. Therefore, there is a belief that you do not have to go to the site today to get married. The beginning of the Tretayuga is also a scriptural word from today. This date is called Akshay Tritiya as the good deeds done on this day will bring inexhaustible fruit.
