Celebrated on Vaisakh Sud Trij, on this day, one shall bathe in a tirthdhaam (pilgrimage), perform Pooja and observe Brahmhacharya. Parshuram Bhagwan appeared on this day. Parshuram means the bearer of an axe.
Lord Parshuram is the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu. He was born to the sage Jamadagni and Renuka. He is the only avatar of Vishnu who is considered to be immortal (Chiranjeevi), meaning he is still living in this age.
Lord Parshuram is renowned for his martial skills and his mastery of all weaponry, particularly the parashu (axe) given to him by Lord Shiva. He appeared on earth to rid it of corrupt and arrogant Kshatriyas (warrior class) who were misusing their power.
He is revered as a great teacher, having taught archery to both Bhishma and Drona of the Mahabharata, and Karna. On Parshuram Jayanti, devotees observe fasting, perform puja, and seek his blessings for strength, discipline, and the protection of righteous values.
