History and Significance
As per Hindu beliefs, Lord Parshuram is considered a 'Brahmin' warrior. In some Hindu texts, Parshurama has been referred to as Rama Jamadagnya, Rama Bhargava and Veerarama.
Hindu belief dictates that he is still living on Earth. Hence, he is not worshipped. On Parashurama Jayanti, devotees observe a fast and worship Lord Vishnu with flowers, kumkum, Chandan and tulsi leaves.
