SUMMARY:Onam 2024
DESCRIPTION:About Onam\nOnam marks the beginning of the Malayalam calendar.
  The harvest festival marks the return of King Mahabali to his beloved cou
 ntry (Keralam). Acording to our puranas\, King Mahabali defeated the Devas
  and ruled all three worlds. He was a generous and wise leader\, but the D
 evas started feeling insecure due to his popularity. They approached Lord 
 Vishnu and requested him to help them. Therefore\, Vishnu took his fifth a
 vatar -- the Brahmin dwarf Vamana.\n\nBrahmin Vamana paid King Mahabali a 
 visit. The generous King as him what he wished for and promised to grant h
 im the same. Vamana requested "three pieces of land." Then\, he grew in si
 ze and covered the sky and the netherworld in his first and second steps. 
 When Lord Vishnu's fifth avatar was about to take his third step\, King Ma
 habali offered his own head to God. Pleased by his sacrifice\, Lord Vishnu
  granted King Mahabali to rule his kingdom till the end of Kalyuga and the
  right to visit his kingdom and people during Onam.\nAgenda for Onam 2024\
