Parshurama is revered as the ultimate warrior in Indian tradition, depicted as the embodiment of strength, courage and martial prowess. His story is included in various Puranas and epics such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. He is also known for his altercation with the sage Kashyapa, which led to the destruction of the vast Drisadvatam forest. Parshurama is also believed to have revived the art of archery in the world, by teaching it to the great sage Dronacharya.
Parshurama is considered a manifestation of Lord Vishnu, who took birth on earth to establish Dharma - righteous living, and purify society by eliminating the corrupt and unjust.
