Important Instructions
The most auspicious day for Lord Parshuram worship is Akshaya Tritiya (Vaishakh Shukla Tritiya), as it marks his birth. Bel leaves hold special significance due to his devotion to Lord Shiva. Weapon worship (Shastra Puja) can also be included symbolically. Both Brahmins and Kshatriyas can worship him. Devotion, truth, and righteousness are more important than ritual precision.
