#ParasuramaJayanti
As per Literary & astronomical records, on this day Shri Parasurama in 6177 BCE finished reclamation from the sea, of coastal Land’s known today & appointed the 4 Varnas as a component of society in Kerala. The Kollam Era was also known as "Parasurama-Sacam".

Shri Parasurama was the 6th of Bhagawan Vishnu's Dasavathara. The word Parasu means 'axe' in Sanskrit & therefore the name Parasurama means 'Ram with Axe'. Puranas say that it was Parasurama who planted Brahmins & Nayakas in 64 regions of Kerala from Chera and Pandya regions.

According to the puranas, Kerala is also known as Parasurama Kshetram, i.e., 'The Land of Parasurama', as the land was reclaimed from sea by him.
After destroying the Kshatriya kings, he approached assembly of learned men to find a way of penitence for his sins. @RohiniMithra

He was advised that, to save his soul from damnation, he must donate a fertile and beautiful landmass to the Brahmins. Shri Parasurama once again took up severe austerities and sought the help of Varuna, the God of the Oceans and Bhumidevi, the Goddess of Earth.

Shri Parasurama retrieved the land submerged under the ocean from Varuna - the God of the Oceans and Bhumidevi - Goddess of Earth. From Gokarnam he reached Kanyakumari and threw his axe northward across the ocean Varuna receded to the spot where this weapon lay.
