![]() Mahabali offered his own head to place his third feet making the wish complete. In the first two feet Vamana measured the entirety of universe, leaving nowhere to place his third foot. Since denying gifts to Brahmin is considered a sacrilege, Mahabali agreed to fulfill Vamana’s wish. Vamana asked Mahabali for three feet of land as his wish from the generous Mahabali. They sent Vamana to earth in the form of a dwarf Brahmin who trampled Mahabali to patala (netherworld). The legend holds that jealous of Mahabali's popularity and his power, the devas and gods conspired to end his reign. According to Hindu legends, Onam is celebrated in Kerala in remembrance of the good governance under the rule of daitya king Mahabali, a mythical king who once ruled Kerala. Onam commemorates Vamana and King Mahabali. A major annual event for Keralites, it is the official festival of the state and includes a spectrum of cultural events.
