The birthday of Parshuram, or Parshuram Jayanti, is celebrated on the 3rd day of the bright half of Vaishakh month, also known as Akshayy Trutiya(eternal third), because of the belief that the merit obtained by good acts on this day is permanent. Of the three and a half muhurtas of the year, this day is half a muhurat (a time of good omen).
Akshaya Tritiya, also known as “Akha Teej”, is traditionally the birthday of Lord Parasurama, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. People conduct special Pujas on this day, bathe in holy rivers, make a charity, offer barley in a sacred fire, and worship Lord Ganesha & Devi Lakshmi on this day.
Akshaya Tritiya marks the beginning of the Treta Yug. The birthday of Parashurama, the sixth incarnation of Vishnu falls on this day. In the “Puranas”, the holy Hindu scriptures, there is a story that says that on this day of Akshay Tritiya Vedavyas along with Lord Ganesha started writing the great epic Mahabharata. Ganga Devi or Mother Ganges also descended to earth on this day.
This is one of the most auspicious days according to the Hindu calendar. The day on which Moon, Sun and Jupiter unitedly come under Mrigshira Nakshatra is called Akshay Tritiya.
The birthday of Sri Parshuram is marked on the day called - Akshay Trutiya (divine third day of Shukla paksh, bright moon side of the month of Veishakh). Being the sixth avatar of Sri Hari, he gained prominence by bringing his mother, Renuka back to life after attaining a boon from his father, Jamadagni - who ordered her being killed.
He proved his affection and devotion to both his parents - by one hand obeying his father's orders and then exploiting the situation by asking for his mother to be brought back to life. Parshuram's father, Jamadagni was later killed by King Kartavirtya Sahashrarjun.
So incensed was Parshuram by his father's premature death that he set out to eliminate all kshatriyas from earth. So he succeeded for a while until all traces of kshatriyas was wiped out of earth.
These events meant that there were no warrior class - no kshatriyas left to protect earth from adharma. Sri Kashyap rishi later came to earth and after a conflict with Parshuram ordered him to leave and reside on a mountain, Mahendra. It is often argued that because of illegal use of power with his axe (parshu), ill fate fell on Sri Parshuram.
Sri Parshuram is more popularly remembered during Sri Ram Leela years of treth yugh - when he faced Sri Ram during dhanush yagh. It was when Sri Ram - another more important Sri Vishnu avatar came to win the heart of Sri Janki Devi (Sita, daughter of Raja Janak) that Sri Parshuram came to question who had broken the Shiv dhanush baan.
But upon realising that Sri Ram (born in a kshatriya kingdom of Ajodhya) was in actual fact a high form of Sri Vishnu himself, Sri Parshuram bowed to him and praised Raja Janak on hosting the supreme God.
Sri Parshuram commended Raja Janak on finding Sri Ram to be his son-in-law. Sri Ram later married Sri Janki (Sita) through blessings of Sri Parshuram.
