Parshuram Jayanti 2025: The birth anniversary of Parshurama, the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu, is known as Parashuram Jayanti. It is celebrated with reverence among Hindus, and according to religious beliefs, he is considered immortal. It is believed that he is still on earth today. According to Drik Panchang, Lord Parshuram was born on the third day of the Vaishakh month, during the Pradosh Kaal, to Mother Renuka and Sage Jamadagni. This year, Parshuram Jayanti will be observed on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. The tritiya tithi starts on April 29, 2025, at 05:31 PM and ends on April 30, 2025, at 02:12 PM; with the festival of Akhatrij or Akshaya Tritiya, falling on the next day, i.e., Wednesday, April 30, 2025. The reason Lord Vishnu incarnated as Parshuram was to alleviate the world's burdens by vanquishing corrupt and oppressive rulers. These kings misused their power and neglected their responsibilities, leading to the exploitation of the environment and their subjects. Although Pashuram is not as widely worshipped as Shri Rama or Shri Krishna, South India features a notable temple dedicated to him in Pajaka near Udupi, along with many other temples scattered across the western coast of India. Furthermore, the Kalki Purana prophesies that Parshuram will serve as the mentor who will teach Lord Vishnu's tenth and final incarnation, Shri Kalki, the art of warfare.
