From Parashurama to Nara Narayana, what is the story of Vishnu’s incarnation on Akshaya Tritiya?

Akshaya Tritiya is one of the most auspicious dates of Sanatan Dharma. Lord Vishnu is worshiped on this day. According to religious belief, on the day of Akshaya Tritiya, the results of worship, charity and other auspicious works increase manifold. This date is important in Hindu religion because on this day Lord Vishnu took three incarnations in different eras. On this day Lord Vishnu had assumed incarnations like Parashuram to Nar Narayan.

For this reason, on the day of Akshaya Tritiya, three incarnations of Lord Vishnu, Parashuram, Nara Narayana and Hayagriva are discussed. The main objective of these incarnations was to establish religion and eliminate unrighteousness. Now the question arises that why did God take the incarnations of Parashuram, Hayagriva and Nar-Narayan on the day of Akshaya Tritiya.
