Onam Festival 2024: History

The Onam festival takes us back to the story of King Mahabali, who is coming during the festival. He was a kind-hearted king who held 3 worlds (Heaven, Earth, and Patal Lok). This tensed the gods, especially Indra. The gods requested Lord Vishnu to take his power.

Lord Vishnu took the form of Vamana and begged him for 3 step cities. Mahabali agreed but when Vamana grew in size, covering the earth, heaven, and his head. So, Mahabali goes to Patala. But his behavior impressed Vishnu, who blessed him with the opportunity to visit his city, Kerala, once in year, naming it Onam.
