I believe there are two Parashurama temples in South India and not one as mentioned here. For sure, theres is one at Thiruvallam in Trivandrum. I think there is one at Karwar too.

No, do not merge. The "ten avatars of Vishnu" is a popular teaching and there should be a separate entry for all ten.

How did parashuram get his Shivadhanusu? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.96.106.41 (talk) 07:20, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Erm...

KK, just a question. How does he still live on Earth today? Mayukhers112 16:47, 1 July 2006 (UTC

For this beings evrything is possible. Those are beyond evrything. Its only a detail but it was the 16 inkarnation of Vishnu. The highest being, inmortal in this universe.

[edit] Where is Mumbai

The coastal area of Karnataka and Kerala state along with Konkan region ,i.e. coastal maharashtra.,in India is known as Parashurama Kshetra (Parashurama's area). Some dispute this and say it extends all the way to Mumbai in Maharashtra.

Is Mumbai not in the Coastal region? Why such a statement then? --202.75.192.19 09:10, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

well the meaning of Konkan changes according to perspective of the suject. --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 04:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I have added the merge tag again. I want other editors to give their opinions on the issue. Please give a reason for your Support Merger or Oppose Merger opinion:

  • No, don't merge. Keep it as it is. Raj2004 11:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merging should be done! All other articles, such as Bhargava Rama and Parshuram etc are misspellings, according to WP's guidelines for spelling Indic names.
—Karthik.raman 03:57, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

SUPPORT MERGER - Merging is appropriate because Lord Parashuram is Eternal - chiranjeevi - the naming convention could sound little different depending on the dialect and language spoken, does not necessarily mean they are different people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.91.196.81 (talk) 12:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


  • Another Opinion-Do merge Parshuram with this page. It is silly to have 2 webpages on the same thing just because of a different way of spelling the same Sanskrit word in roman script.

Cheers...A wikipedia enthusiast

  • i agree keep the pages sepreate
  • I too agree pages should be seperate .. Amaresh Gangal.
  • "Pasted from Bhargava Rama talk": "Auther: I have read the article: Parasurama, which gives more importent to mythology. My articles tedns to separate out mythology from comprehencable facts. For example the concept of Parasurama, as an incarnation of Vishnu is a mythological concept, where as the dispute between Bhargavas and Kshatriyas in which Parasurama playing a major role is a comprehencable fact. I would like to provide a link from article : Bhargava Rama to the article Parasurama, like this:- For knowing about the myhtological aspects of Bhargava Rama, refer the article:-Parasurama. "
  • "Pasted from Bhargava Rama talk": Parasurama is the nickname of Bhargava Rama. So merge Parasurama into this article and put a redirect in the Parasurama article. But this should be done after careful reading :user:Aanand Pranav Sharma

Already, in Parashurama, under Other Names, Bhargava is listed. So just merge and maybe put in a redirect

  • Support Merger This article discusses Parshurama from the prospective of Mahabharata and Ramayana, which are mythological epics and not historical documents. --Redtigerxyz 13:39, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
"which are mythological epics and not historical documents." do you have a proof that they are not? I surely do not have a proof that they are :). BalanceΩrestored Talk 06:05, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Support both Bhargava Rama and Parshuram are the same. Merging is appropriate. I think ones who are asking not to merger should give clearer reasons, so we can understand your reasons for opposing the merger. This will help the administrators taking a decision.

[edit] Parshuram

A temple of Parshuram is also situated at Akhnoor, 18 km away from Jammu city, J&K.

Every year, in the month of May, a huge celebration in the form of a parade, names as Parshuram Jayanti, is marched through the main city of Jammu. The budget of this huge celebration in the form of a parade is in lakhs and is entirely arranged by the Brahmin community of Jammu city and the adjoining areas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.91.85.197 (talk) 08:47, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
