The myth of onam.
Mahabali was an asura king who ruled over the land. Feeling jealous of the king, indra requested Vishnu and consequently took the incarnation of vamana and requested maveli three measured feet of land. Maveli readily accepted the request. Two feet was sufficient to measure the entire land and the third foot was placed on the head of mahabali. The mahabali was sent to pathala and he was allowed to visit his subjects thiruvonam day of the first Malayalam month every year.
