Onam — ಮಹತ್ವ

Onam is the harvest festival of Kerala, celebrating the annual visit of King Mahabali (Maveli). It marks the homecoming of the beloved demon king and the bounty of the harvest season.

Onam — ಪುರಾಣ ಕಥೆ

According to the Bhagavata Purana, the asura king Mahabali (Bali) was pushed into the netherworld by Vamana (Vishnu's dwarf avatar). Pleased with Bali's devotion, Vishnu granted him a boon to visit his people once a year. Onam is that day when Kerala welcomes him with feasts and flowers.
