In another tweet on Parshuram Jayanti, PM wrote many congratulations to fellow citizens on the occasion of Parshuram Jayanti. Lord Parashurama is revered for his valour, mercy, and compassion; he tweeted in Hindi.

Parshuram Jayanti is also known as Akshaya Tritiya, and it marks the birth of Lord Parshuram. Lord Vishnu's sixth incarnation, Lord Parshuram (literally meaning Rama with an axe), descended on Earth to save it from the barbarity of the Kshatriyas. In most parts of the country, the day is known as Parshuram Jayanti.

Following the Hindu calendar, the Parashurama Jayanti comes on the Tritiya (third day) of 'Shukla paksha' in Vaisakh. Following the Gregorian calendar, the day occurs in April or May.
