Parasuram Kund

Parasuram Kund, a place of pilgrimage is situated in the lower reaches of the river Lohit at about 24 kms. to the North-east (27°51' IV and 96°23' E) of Tezu. The other name of the Kund is 'Prabhu Kuthar1, the origin of the 'Kund1 viz. Parasuram Kund is associated with Parasuram's matricide.

The history goes in brief that one day Renuka, mother of Parasuram went to Ganga for having bath and bringing water. Delay in bringing water made the Rishi Jamadagni, the husband of Renuka very angry as it was already getting late for the mid day worship. He asked the sons to kill her. None of his six sons except Parasuram could oblige. Parasuram chopped off the head of his mother in deference to the wishes of his father, but as a result of crime, handle of his axe got stuck to his hand. Jamadagni was very pleased with him for carrying out his order and asked Parasuram to have for boon. None of his six sons but Parasuram prayed for bringing his mother back to life, then enquired as to how to get rid of the crime of matricide. Jamadagni granted it and his mother got her life back and told arasuram to visit 'Brahma Kund" to wash off the sin. Parasuram came to the Brahma Kund, in Lohit district of Arunachal Pradesh for holy dip in the Kund. Religious people, saints come to this kund on Makarsankranti which falls on the 14th January every year.
The Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh extend all possible arrangement/help to those pilgrimage.
