On the day of Akshaya Tritiya, Suryavanshi King Bhagirathi called Maa Ganga on this earth to save his ancestors, and Mahadev, the god of gods, held Maa Ganga in his hair because the speed of Ganga Maiya was very high. She was strong and if she was allowed to go, she would have gone to Patal Lok.

On the day of Akshaya Tritiya itself, God met his most dear friend Sudama. Sudama goes to Dwarka to meet God as told by his wife, his wife says that once you meet your friend Dwarkadhish, he will definitely help you and our poverty will end.
Sudama ji was very liberal, even after reaching God, he does not ask anything from God. God hugged Sudama ji on his chest as soon as he saw him and made him sit on his throne and then washed the feet of Sudama ji with his tears. God is intimate, he filled Sudama ji with money and grains without speaking.
