Day 16 : Parshuram Kund
Distance : 16 KM
Mode : Tata Magic
Time Taken : 1 hour
As promised Soni arrived at 6 AM..i took some time to get ready in the mean time I kept her busy in playing subway surfer..
we had plans of roaming in wakro.. The caretaker asked about breakfast and I told after coming back from walk we would have it.. so we were on the road on our foot.. It was a great morning.. not much cold and the sun was so comfortable..
I had started loving wakro such a small place ,greenery all around.. We were roaming without any destination.. I spotted one Organic tea farm.. was little surprised to know about tea garden in that place.. but Soni as a great guide told her Basamlu didi … I did now know how she got idea to meet her… we walked to the tea estate on the way she was coming.. soni introduced.. and she was happy to meet me.. and she insisted to visit her home .. I kept her word but change the timing… I clearly noticed that she had lot of things to say to me.. Fine time must act on that …
Then we walked upto market ….Honestly there was something on my mind.. that was parshuram kund which was just 16 kms from Wakro.. Sadly there was no public or shared transport.. and the only vehicle from Namsai to Hayuliang via Wakro already left early in the morning L next search was for a motorbike.. but that also did not come up with any positive result..

thanks soni for this picture
soni's house
My friend who was just opening his shop suggested that there used to be one guy who was having a Tata magic and asked me to enquiry from him.. so we walked to that guy’s house which was near the Circuit house.. and I spotted one red tata magic also his owner .. he was asking for 1200 but we settled in 800 after hard bargaining … so we decided to start around 10 am.. Soni was also eager to come with me..so we walked back to Circuit house.. while serving breakfast as puri an alu subji … The drunk son also showed interest in going to parshuram kund with me.. No problem for me at all.. the more the merrier… when I enquired about Payal she was not where in news.. so we were 3 and the driver would visit Parshuram kund..
We started at 10.30 carrying few water bottles as we had plans of having lunch in circuit house and the kind drunk guy arranged some chicken for lunch … Drunk guy was sitting on front ans Soni and myself in the middle comfortably.. The road was so bumpy.. and that to in tata magic we were jumping like anything.. That moment I was realizing why Wakro was said to be Valley of Oranges.. so many Orange trees all around and we decided while coming back we will visit those farm…
busy mishmi man
Road was just ok type.. not very good not bad for the entire stretch…we took only a single stop on our way that was for Soni to meet her friend Rani who happily joined us to visit Parshuram Kund..She was more energetic and talkative than Soni..and those old friends were so happy seeing each other… Finally we reached Parshuram kund ..first we headed to the temple… I doubt there is another temple for Parshuram in this nation.. Those kids did some puja in the temple while I was busy in clicking…

Payal
We then headed to the big bridge ..what a view… all around.. Lohit was so furious I had never expected.. It was super windy.. Not a single person was there at that moment but during Makar Sankranti there used to be more than a lac of hindu pilgrims .. Sadly there was not places to stay fork the nights either people used to come for a day trip with their booked vehicles or some people used to sleep in the temple itself in open… Hope Govt will listen to this soon…
Payal liked my cap so much and asked me for trying.. I could see the likings from her eyes.. and happily gifted her my cap and she was so happy for that J
Parashuram is the sixth avatar of Vishnu, son of Renuka and the saptarishi Jamadagni. He is one of the immortals and witnessed Mahabharat war during the end of Dwapar Yug. He received a blessed parashu (axe) after undertaking penance for thousands of years to please Shiva, who in turn taught him the martial arts, hence the name Parashuram.
Parashurama won over Kshatriyas for 21 times after the mighty King Kartavirya having thousands of arms killed his father. He was mentor to Bhishma, Karna and Dronacharya. Parashurama was able to save masses of land around Konkan, Malabar and Kerala from the wrath of advancing sea.
Lacs of pilgrims go to the kund in winter every year, especially on the Makar Sankranti day for a holy dip in the sacred kund to wash away sins. The history behind the belief recorded in the Kalika Purana, is that the great Sage Parashuram washed away his sins of killing warriors who killed his fater. Being Brahman, Parshuram cannot resort to using arms and ammunitions for fighting war so he had to wash off his sinful act of killing in the waters of Brahma kund. Parashurama played an important role in both the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
Parshuram had given the bow of Bhagwan Shiv to King Janak, father of Sita. Lifting of the same bow and knotting string to it was condition of theswayamvar. Prince and Kings from various places of Bharat came for the swayamvar to marry Sita. No one was able to move the powerful bow, only Bhagwan Ram was able to successfully lift the bow, but in trying to place string at one end, the bow broke into half and thunderous sound shook the place, which was even heard by Parashuram while he was meditating in Mahendra mountain range.
Later on, as per history of Ramayan, when Parashuram met Bhagwan Ram, he realized that Bhagwan Ram is also incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu. Bhagwan Ram was 7th incarnation of Bhagwan Vishnu.
The waters of the kund are considered as sacred as the waters of the River Ganga. In the 18th century a sadhu re-established the site of Parashuram Kund. The sadhu who came through Chowkham, as the story goes, was driven out form his village as he was looked upon as a swindler. The villagers thereafter were afflicted with some unknown disease. Meanwhile the sadhu, had hidden himself in a cave around the kund away from the angry villagers. The villagers came in search of him and offered him fruits and flowers and asked forgiveness.
The current site of Parshuram Kund is slightly different in shape and size. The old site of the Parashuram Kund was in existence till 1950 but it completely changed due to massive earthquake that shook the whole of the North-East and the kund was completely covered. A very strong current is now flowing over the original site of the kund but massive boulders have in a mysterious way embedded themselves in a circular formation in the river bed thus forming another kund in place of the old. In a way, naturally resurrecting the kund for the Hindu pilgrims.
