PHEDE - PARASURAM TEMPLE  

Though its distant past cannot be fixed with certainty, the miracles that occurred and circulated among the devotees can be narrated and they are many too. In the dim past it appears, a certain cow used to stand at the exact spot where the present image of Lord Parasuram is installed, and empty its udder - let the milk flow down automatically. This continued for long. 

The cow-herds were amazed and spread the news with unusual fervour. Just at this period, one devotee was informed by Parasuram in dream that he was abiding in that spot. The cow-herds story lent support to the divinity of the place. Popular enthusiasm gained momentum and religioicity took definite shape. A stone was worshipped regularly and it went by the name of Svayambhu. The adorers found their desires fulfilled to their satisfaction. The kshetra became glorious and the deity powerful.
