JAMMU, July 24: Samooh Theatre today staged a play ‘Parshuram’ here at Abhinav Theatre, Jammu.
The play was written by Pritam Katoch and directed by Dr Sudhir Mahajan. Parashurama, with an axe is the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu in Hinduism.
Born as a Brahmin, Parashurama carried traits of a Kshatriya and is often regarded as a Brahmin-Kshatriya. He carried a number of Kshatriya traits, which included aggression, warfare and valour and also, serenity, prudence and patience. He, along with only Hanuman and Indrajita, is considered to be one of the very few Atimaharathi warriors ever born on the Earth.
Like other incarnations of Vishnu, he was foretold to appear at a time when overwhelming evil prevailed on the earth. The Kshatriya class Haiaya dynasty, with weapons and power, had begun to abuse their power, take what belonged to others by force and tyrannize people. Parashurama corrects the cosmic equilibrium by destroying these Kshatriya warriors.
The actors who performed in the play were Madan Rangila, Devanshu Raina, Suresh Kumar, Sandeep Manhas, Manoj Dhameer, Chetan Chark, Pami Jutshi, Gourav, Shiv Vohara and Pandit Vinay Kumar.
The music of the play was rendered by Suriender Manhas, make-up was done by Dr Kamal Sharma, choreography was done by Rohit Bains and lights were designed by Ravinder Sharma. Costumes were designed by Anita Chand Puri and Princy Bhatt.
