Akshaya Tritiya-Nothing to do with Gold/Platinum.

Akshya Tridiya is meant for performing Tharpana for ancestors and for charity.

Deva Yagnam,Pitru Yagyam,Manusha Yagnam,Boo Yagna are some of the regular Yagnas to be performed by every body.

Deva Yagna is thanks giving to Divine beings,Pitru for Ancestors, Manusha for Fellow humans and Boo Yagna for all other Living Beings.

Deva Yagna is by Brahma Yagna,Pitru by Tharpana/Srardha,Manusha Yagna by helping others,and Boo Yagna by feeding the other living beings.

These are to be performed every day.

Of this,Akshaya Tridhiyai comes under Pitru Yagna.

On this day one is expected to performT harpana for Pitrus and engage in feeding the poor.

Nothing about Gold or Platinum purchase at all.

Pity how people are misguided on a Sacred Ritual.

This is akin to Greeting Christians on Good Friday.
