Parshuram Kund

Parshuram Kund

Bhagwaan Parshuram beheaded his mother Renuka, up on being ordered such by his father Jamdagni rishi. Although when his father granted him a boon, he managed to restore his mother back to life; he was still filled with tremendous guilt. 

He tried to wash off the blood from his axe but he could not. He travelled everywhere and washed his axe in the water of many rivers and lakes, but the blood would not wash off. 

In the end he reached the banks of Lohit river in modern Arunachal Pradesh, and managed to wash off the blood stains from his axe.

The place where Bhagwaan Parshuram washed his axe became known as Parshuram Kund, where every year during Makar Sankranti pilgrims from all over India and Nepal visit here to take a dip in the holy water.
