Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The Brahmin community is celebrating Lord Parshuram’s birth anniversary with 13 major events this year. The festivities are in full swing, with the fifth event held on Monday evening, featuring a grand procession taken out from Chanakyapuri Hanuman temple to Rajendra Nagar. Many devotees enthusiastically joined the march, adding to the spiritual fervour of the celebrations.
The Parshuram Mahasabha will host a three-day celebration, with a special procession on Wednesday from Parshuram Mandir in Jagjeevanram Nagar in the morning.
Evening events will include vehicle rallies from Chawani and Footi Kothi, which will merge into the traditional procession at Bada Ganapati. Additionally, a special Parshuram Yatra will commence from Bapat Chowk.
The celebrations have fostered a spirit of community unity, with some underlying competitive spirit among various groups. On the previous day, a grand Brahmin Sankar Yatra, featuring dazzling tableaux and sword fighting performances, started from Bada Ganapati.
The procession saw active participation from numerous Brahmin sub-groups including Vipra Nari Sangathan, Khandelwal Brahmin Society and many others. The highlight was Lord Parshuram’s chariot, pulled by devotees.
Dignitaries, like mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav, Akash Vijayvargiya, and several community leaders attended the procession. A tribute was paid to those who lost their lives in the Pahalgam terror attack before the event commenced.
