About the Hindu celebration of Parashu Ram Jayanti
Akshaya Tritiya – Parashuram Jayanti in the Hindu faith is the third day of the bright half of Vaishakh. It is considered one of the most sacred days to start anything auspicious. Akshaya Tritiya or Akha Teej is the birthday of Lord Parashurama, the sixth incarnation of Vishnu. It is also regarded as the start of the Treta Yuga.

Parashurama though born in Treta yuga, is said to be an eternal Avatara still living. Much later, during the Ramayana period, when Lord Rama broke the bow of Lord Shiva during the Seeta Swayamvara, Parashuram got angry and encounters Lord Rama but recognized Rama as the next Avatara and gave blessings.

Akshaya means eternal or that which never ends. Any good undertaking started on this day will be of a lasting and permanent nature. All over India people celebrate weddings, plan new business ventures, long journeys and other events on this day and buy gold, silver and other assets.

Any Pooja performed and any dana (donating) given on this day is said to give 100 times more results.
