Significantly the name Lord Parasurama, one of the Avatars of Lord Mahavishnu which could have been decended fro the Temple of Lord Parasurama in Thiruvallam near Thiruvananthapuram. Vallam means head in Malayalam. So it is called Thiruvallam. Lord Anantha Padma was earlier in a huge size keeping his head in Thiruvallam, body in Thiruvananthapuram and feet inThiruppathapuram. On a request from Vilwamangala Maharishi who established the Anantha Padmabhanabaswamy temple in Thiruvananthapuram Bagavan Vishnu shrinked his size as of now and laid in Thiruvanathapuram giving dharshan to the devotees. Lord Parasurama born to sain Jamathagni and Renugadevi. Oneday when Renugadevi went to a river to fetch water saw a shadow of one Gandharva on the water and her mind wavered wondering the beaauty of him. Jamadhagni came to know this through his power got wild and asked Parasuramar to behead her head. Parasurama also obeyed his order and cut his mother's head. Lord Parasuram requested his father to give back his mother alive. Pleased by his action Jamadhagni gave life to Renugadevi. One Kshthriya king came to the cottage of Jamathagni and killed him. Lord Parasurama came to know this illegal activity vowed to kill the Kshathriya kings and was doing this. One day he realised his action and prayed to Lord Shiva to give pardon and he came to this temple and got his sins vanish.
