In PARASURAMA Avatar, Lord
Vishnu incarnates himself as a brahmana(priest) in this world. He was brought
in this world to punish all kshatriyas who had become superior and were restraining
the brahmans in the world. He was born to Jamadagni and Renuka, and belonged to
the Brighu clan.
Parashurama was always carrying an knife nearbyed to him by
Lord Shiva of whom he was an ardent devotee. Kartavirya a powerful king, once
went to Jamadagni's home when he was out, and after a meal, stole the Kamadhenu
cow, which was believed to give endless quantity of milk.
Jamadgni was enraged
and he went and killed the king and brought Kamadhenu back. On hearing this the
son of the king came back and killed Jamdagni.This festival celebrite on all men's and women's, wear in new clothes.
Parasurama was enraged at this and went and avenged the death of his father by killing all kshatriyas in 21 battles. His story is story of the supremacy of brahmans over the kshatriyas.
