Parshuram Kund, nestled in the Lohit district of Arunachal Pradesh, is a sacred pilgrimage site revered for its spiritual significance and natural beauty. According to legend, Lord Parshuram, the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, washed away his sins here after beheading his mother on his father’s command. As he dipped his axe into the Lohit River, it detached from his hand, symbolizing the absolution of his guilt. This act sanctified the site, making it a place of penance and purification.  

Every year, during Makar Sankranti in January, over 70,000 devotees from across India and Nepal gather to take a holy dip in the kund’s waters, believing it cleanses them of their sins. The surrounding landscape, with its lush green hills and the pristine Lohit River, offers a serene environment for meditation and introspection.  

Recent developments under the PRASHAD scheme aim to enhance the site’s infrastructure, including the installation of a 51-foot statue of Sage Parshuram and improved facilities for pilgrims.
