It was also believed that once upon a time Parshuramji visited the Kailash Mountain to see Lord Shiva but Lord Ganesha didn’t allow him to meet with Lord Shiva as he said that his father was sleeping. This made Parshuram Ji angry and started fighting with Ganesha. Later, Lord Ganesha was winning handily, but then Parashurama threw his axe which broke a tusk of Lord Ganesha.
