History Of Sansthan Shri Bhargavram : At a distance of 7 km from Chiplun city, Parashuram Temple is an ancient Hindu temple. It is located in Parashuram village near Chiplun town in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra. Also known as Sri Kshetra Parashuram, it is one of the popular pilgrimage places in the Konkan region. Parshuram Temple is dedicated to he sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu – Lord Parshurama. Since Parshurama created the Konkan land. he is considered to be the presiding deity of the Konkan region. The temple was built by the Portuguese. And funds were provided by Janjirekar and Siddi for its construction. The temple was rebuilt by Swami Paramahansa Brahmendra. He was the guru of Siddi Yakut Khan of Janjira, Kanhoji Angre of Colaba, Peshwa of Pune, Chhatrapati Sahu Maharaj, Tararani of Kolhapur. According to mythology, Parasurama is the immortal incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Parashurama had fought twenty-one battles to free himself from the cruel Kshatriya kings who renounced the principles of Dharma. The Kshatriya king Janak or Ikshvaku, who ruled by principles, suffered no loss. Later, Parashurama donated the entire earth to Maharshi Kashyap, so he could not stay on that land. So, Parshuram shot an arrow into the Arabian Sea to push it back and regain the Konkan land. Parashurama chose the Mahendragiri peak as his permanent abode. This is the place where the temple is. It is believed that at sunrise Lord Parasurama leaves for penance in the Himalayas and returns to the temple at sunset. A big celebration takes place on the day of Parshurama Jayanti (Akshayy Trutiya). Thousands of devotees gather on this occasion.
