Question 1

When is Parashurama Jayanti 2 observed?

Accepted Answer

This observance falls on Dvitiya tithi of Krishna Paksha in the lunar month of Margashirsha. The tithi current at sunrise governs the day, so its Gregorian date changes from year to year and must be calculated for the place of observance.

Question 2

What is Parashurama Jayanti 2?

Accepted Answer

Parashurama Jayanti 2 is a Vaishnava appearance anniversary for Parashurama, the axe-bearing incarnation of Vishnu. This particular entry follows a Southern or Dravida tradition and uses Margashirsha Krishna Dvitiya rather than the date used by many calendars for the better-known Parashurama Jayanti.

Question 3

How is Parashurama Jayanti 2 celebrated?

Accepted Answer

A simple observance may include bathing, a clean altar, worship of Vishnu or Parashurama, recitation of familiar Vishnu prayers, and an offering of fruit, milk, or a sattvic meal. Specific fasting and puja rules are not established here, so families should follow their local Vaishnava or household practice.

Question 4

Why is Parashurama worshipped?

Accepted Answer

Parashurama is regarded in Vaishnava tradition as an incarnation of Vishnu who confronts unrighteous power. His story is associated with restoring dharma, or righteous order, and with disciplined strength rather than violence for its own sake.

Question 5

Is this the same as Parashurama Jayanti on Akshaya Tritiya?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many calendars associate Parashurama Jayanti with Vaishakha Shukla Tritiya, while this entry places a separate observance on Margashirsha Krishna Dvitiya. The two dates should not be merged without checking the tradition followed by the household or temple.
