Description In the pages of the pious Hindu text- Bhagavata Purana, we find the episode of Kartavirya’s battle with Parashurama, how the sixth avatar of Vishnu slew the king, and how this led to the murder of his father, sage Jamadagni at the hands of the sons of Kartavirya. As vengeance on the death of his father, in whose lamentation his mother Renuka beat her chest twenty-one times, Parashurama (literally, Rama who wields the Parashu or battle-ax) swore to wipe the earth off all the kshatriyas, twenty-one times. In his representation in art, Bhagwan Parashurama can be seen carrying the battle-ax, in the form of a valorous warrior. This Tanjore painting is rare in the manner in which it brings out the persona of the valant Parashurama, who can be seen approaching his enemy in a particularly attacking manner, making this painting highly emotive and absorbing.
