Parashuram Jayanti is celebrated by fasting, that usually begins a day prior to the occasion. Fasting is a way of sacrificing the comforts of life in order to attain higher goals. It is also celebrated as an auspicious occasion to begin new endeavours and acquire new possessions, whether it is starting a business or buying gold jewellery. This day is also known as Akshaya Tritiya. People visit temples that are dedicated exclusively to the Maharishi in order to pay their obeisance to him. People also visit temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu as he is considered to be his avatar.
