Overview

Lord Parshuram Temple

Parshuram Mandir at Mokama is a local temple dedicated to Baba Parshuram in Bala Roop. Its physical identity is tied to the Parshuram Sthan premises and the southern bank of the Ganga.

Local tradition remembers the site as a place of Parshuram’s tapas. The annual Parshuram Mahotsav around Akshaya Tritiya is a major public observance, while current access may be affected by redevelopment work.
