Vaamana Jayanthi

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. It is the day on which Shree Mahaa Vishnu incarnated on Earth as Vaamana, a Brahmin boy and blessed King Mahaa Bali. This day is celebrated as Vaamana Jayanthi.

Every year on this day, King Mahaabali is believed to visit his kingdom and return to Pathaala Loka. King Mahaa Bali is a great devotee of Shree Mahaa Vishnu. Malayalees all over the world celeberate this day as Onam.
