The Legend:
According to legend, Parshuram executed his father's order to kill his mother with an axe. As he was doing this, the axe became stuck to his hands, and he began to roam around India, stopping at holy sites to apologize. But it was all in vain.
When he finally arrived at the Kund and dived in, the axe became free and dropped to the ground. The location of its fall became the Lohit River's source. The Kund has been referred to as the Parshuram Kund since that time.
