Parashurama Jayanti 2023: This regional Indian holiday is observed on 'Akshaya Tritiya' every year. As per the Hindu calendar, Lord Parshuram's birthday falls on the 'Tritiya' (third day) of 'shukla paksha' in the month of 'Vaisakh', which occurs in April or May. It celebrates the birth anniversary of Parashurama, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu in Hinduism.
Traditions surrounding Parashurama Jayanti: According to tradition, the demon king Kiratarjuna and his realm of the Kshatriyas ruled over Mahishmati Nagri, a region in central India
Goddess Earth requested Lord Vishnu for assistance since she was so worried about the king's wicked conduct. According to Lord Vishnu, the empire would be destroyed when he was born as Renuka and Sage Jamadagni's son. By defeating the monarch and the Kshatriyas in his reincarnation as the legendary warrior Parshurama (literally, Rama with an axe), Vishnu established peace on earth.
For Hindus, this day has significant religious importance. On the night before Parshuram Jayanti, devotees observe a fast. They go to temples and worship Lord Vishnu there in order to obtain his blessings. On this day, giving food to Brahmans is seen to be particularly auspicious.
Akshaya Tritiya, another name for this day, is regarded as a lucky day to begin or carry out something auspicious.
In various Hindu literature, Parashurama may also go by the names Rama Jamadagnya, Rama Bhargava, and Veerarama. The Niyogi Bhumihar Brahmin, Chitpavan, Daivadnya, Mohyal, Tyagi, Anavil, and Nambudiri Brahmin communities all revere Parashurama as their mool purush, or creator.
