The Legend of Renukambal – The Devoted Mother and Warrior
According to sacred lore, Renukambal was the devoted wife of Sage Jamadagni and the mother of Parashurama, an avatar of Vishnu. Her intense purity and spiritual discipline allowed her to fetch water in unbaked pots. One day, distracted momentarily by a celestial vision, she lost her spiritual power. Her husband, in anger, ordered their son to behead her. Parashurama, following dharma, obeyed. Yet moved by his devotion, Jamadagni offered him a boon—he asked to bring his mother back to life. Renuka Devi was revived, becoming Renukambal—the divine mother who transcends pain and returns to protect the world. Worship of Renukambal in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka continues as a celebration of her sacrifice, purity, and divine compassion.
