Onam

Today is celebrated as Onam by people across barriers in Kerala. This is the day on which king Mahaa Bali, grandson of Prahlaadhaa, the greatest devotee of Lord Narasimhaa, visits the region every day.

Billions of years back, according to Hindu Scriptures, Shree Hari descended on the earth in the form of a small Brahmin boy (known as Vaamana Avataar) and blessed king Mahaa Bali.

Onam greetings to all my friends from Kerala.
