Parshuram Jayanti Observed on April 19 as Panchang Sets Festival Timing

Conflicting reports underscore how lunar tithis that cross days can shift dates on the civil calendar.

Parashurama Jayanti 2026 will be observed on April 20 along with Akshaya Tritiya. Know the exact date, tithi, puja timing, rituals and importance of this sacred Hindu festival.

Overview

  • Parshuram Jayanti, which fell Sunday, April 19, 2026 per Drik Panchang, coincided with Akshaya Tritiya and followed the Tritiya tithi from 10:49 am to 7:27 am the next day.
  • Daily Excelsior reported widespread observance across India with temple pujas, shobhayatras, bhandaras, fasting and readings on the warrior-sage’s life.
  • The Free Press Journal presented an internal mismatch by first listing April 27, then citing Drik Panchang that places observance on April 19 with the same tithi window.
  • Public figures including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior ministers posted greetings that highlighted Parshuram’s ideals of justice, truth and inner strength.
  • Coverage explained Parshuram as Vishnu’s axe-bearing warrior-sage who restored order and, by tradition, taught Bhishma, Dronacharya and Karna, with some beliefs saying he endures to mentor the future avatar Kalki.
