I had posted notes of gratitude to the comments by Rose Marie Juan Austin and Evelyn Judy Buehler. But they have vanished. Can anyone help?
The very story behind celebration of Onam is intriguing. Emperor Mahabali ruled over the entire known world. Under his rule every citizen was happy and content. Then, the gods grew jealous of him and on their pleading, the Supreme God Mahavishnu banishes the Emperor to the netherworld.
However, before leaving Earth, the Emperor requests leave of the Lord to visit his subjects once a year. The Onam day is marked by His Visit and therefore, the celebrations.
