Happy #onam to all my Friends in Twitter
Why is onam celebrated?

A festival the ignorant think of as a harvest festival but in reality is a yearly reminder of a divine PR stunt that went wrong!

#Onam is celebrated for 10 days , beginning from the Vaman dvadashi
#Onam2020
It is celebrated to honor the great sacrifice of King Bali. The term “bali” which is used for sacrifice, comes from the name of this great King.
King Bali was the grandson of another great King , Prahlada

inherited that trait from him.

King Bali conquered the the bhuloka and the swargalokas. The sons of Aditi, who are called as “devas”, were expelled from swarga
As a result ,mother Aditi performed austerities to please Vishnu. Bagawan Vishnu appeared as her son Vamana Image
