New Delhi:
Parshuram Jayanti is one of those festivals that quietly holds a lot of weight in Hindu tradition. It marks the birth of Lord Parshuram, believed to be the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Every year, it is observed on the day of Akshaya Tritiya, which itself is considered highly auspicious.
In 2026, Parshuram Jayanti will be celebrated on April 19. According to traditional beliefs, Lord Parshuram was born during the Pradosh Kaal, the evening twilight period. Because of this, that specific time window is seen as the most suitable for puja and rituals.
Parshuram Jayanti 2026 date and timings
Here are the key timings to note:
- Date: April 19, 2026, Sunday
- Tritiya Tithi begins: April 19, 2026 at 10:49 AM

How Parshuram Jayanti is observed
The day usually begins with a ritual bath. Taking a dip in the Ganga is considered especially sacred. If that is not possible, people often add a few drops of Gangajal to their bath water at home. It is believed to carry similar spiritual value.
After that, devotees perform puja dedicated to Lord Parshuram and Lord Vishnu. Charity also plays a role on this day. Donating food, clothes or money is seen as an important part of the observance.
It is also considered a favourable day to begin new work or ventures. In some places, processions are organised to mark the occasion. Simple, but meaningful.
