🍀About Parshuram Jayanti:🍀

               The birth anniversary of Lord Vishnu’s sixth avatar makes it one of the most significant festivals in Hinduism. Since it is believed that Lord Parshurama was born around that time, Lord Parshuram Jayanti is observed on the day that Tritiya prevails during Pradosh Kaal. To put an end to the destructive and immoral kings that weighed down the planet, this avatar was created. Therefore, it will be advantageous to worship God on this fortunate day. As it is believed to be a sacred rite to be conducted on such religious occasions, many devotees bathe in the holy Ganga River on Parshuram Jayanti.
