The story of Parshuram Kund:

The spiritual significance of Parshuram Kund is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology and has been passed down through generations. It is believed to be the site where Lord Parshuram, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, sought atonement for a grave sin. According to local folklore, Parshuram, in obedience to his father Sage Jamadagni, tragically beheaded his mother, Renuka, with his axe. However, the act of parricide left him with the axe permanently attached to his hand as a symbol of his sin. Despite the gravity of his actions, Parshuram was granted a boon by his father. He asked for his mother to be brought back to life, which was granted. Yet, the axe remained attached to his hand as a constant reminder of his sin. Seeking atonement, Parshuram consulted the great rishis of his time, who advised him to wash his hands in the pure waters of the Lohit River. Upon dipping his hands into the river, the axe detached, symbolising his redemption. It is believed that this act of purification marked the spot where Parshuram cleansed himself, and over time, the site became known as Parshuram Kund — a revered place of spiritual power.
