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)
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.
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)
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.
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.

. Yes both names are of the same sage. --Pavan 23:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pavn123 (talk • contribs)
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)
There is a Parashurama Temple in Nanjangudu near Mysore in Karnataka
There is a Parashurama temple in nanjangudu near Mysore. The legend goes that Parashurama cleansed his axe off blood after killing his mother in the sangam of rivers Kapila, Kaundinya & Suvarnavathy. Then his body was covered with lot of deseases & was unable to take grip of anything. He then meditated there to please Load shiva to get rid of his sins.
The following I picked from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjangud" I feel this should be mentioned under this category aswell. It is said that Parashurama got immense peace of mind at this place which he did not get anywhere else. So he decided to make a penance at the place where Nanjundeshwara temple presently exists. At that time, only Adi Keshava Temple existed (which is now by the side of main-shrine). While cleaning up the place with his axe, he accidentally hit the head of Lord Shiva, who was performing penance underground. Blood started flowing and Parushurama was frightened to have committed another sin. Then Lord Shiva consoled him not to worry and build a temple of his, adjacent to Adi Keshava's. Lord Shiva also told Parashurama to perform penance at Nanjangud. Parashurama performed at the place where his temple presently is located. Lord Shiva was then immensely happy with it and gave blessings that those who visit Nanjangud should definitely visit Parashurama temple to complete their piligrimage effectively and fruitfully.
It is believed that anyone who lets Jaggery block and Crystal salt dissolve in Suvarnavathy river in front of Parushurama Temple, all ill-effects and sins committed by them will be solved slowly and permanently just as the way Jaggery and Salt dissolve in water. This is believed to be so because Lord Parashurama himself cleansed his sin of beheading his mother, which can be considered as the most punishable act. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.16.150.2 (talk) 09:57, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Gudiyattam
There is a temple in Gudiyattam with the same story. That he slew his mother at that spot. There are such Parashurama temples all over India. Whereever people turned into landowners, they seem to have "used" this story and built a temple for Parashurama, narrating similar or associated sequence of events for that spot. No one knows how old each of these temples are. But a lot of people from a cross-section of people turned to tilling / owning land in the aftermath of the mughal invasions. The story had its genesis before the british arrived but was used well into the period of the raj to make claims. --= No ||| Illusion = 15:21, 5 June 2009 (UTC)Mayasutra —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mayasutra (talk • contribs)
