Parashurama Jayanti 2026: He is the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, and his birth anniversary is celebrated by all Hindu devotees. The Jayanti falls during Shukla Paksha Tritiya in the month of Vaishakha. According to Hindu texts, Lord Parashurama was born during Pradosh Kala. Every year, his birth anniversary is celebrated when Tritiya prevails during this time. This year, it coincides with Akshaya Tritiya on April 19.
Tritiya Tithi Begins - 10:49 AM on Apr 19, 2026
Tritiya Tithi Ends - 07:27 AM on Apr 20, 2026
Also called Rama Jamadagnya, Rama Bhargava, and Veerarama, he is the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu, sent on the Earth to relieve the burden by exterminating the sinful, irreligious monarchs and destructive people neglecting their duties. According to Hindu texts, he is one of the Chiranjeevis and still lives on the Earth; unlike Lord Rama and Lord Krishna, he is not worshipped.
In South India, in Pajaka near Udupi, one temple is dedicated to Parashurama, whereas on the western coast of India, there are several temples dedicated to him.
Devotees celebrate his birth anniversary to honour his role in protecting the Earth from the sinful people. Fasting on this day is considered auspicious as it reduces your sins. Get up early in the morning, wear fresh clothes and offer a prayer to Lord Parashurama. Take a Sankalp to break the fast in the evening after prayers.
As it is coinciding with Akshaya Tritiya, donations made on this day are considered auspicious.
