There is a fascinating myth about Thrikkakara connecting Vamana, the fifth avatar of Lord Vishnu (also called Thrikkakarayappan) and asura (demon) King Mahabali, popular among his subjects as poverty and sorrow were unheard of during his reign. This popularity made the gods jealous and they tricked Mahabali into being banished to Patala, the nether world. He was given permission to visit his subjects once a year. Onam, the famous harvest festival of Kerala is a celebration of this yearly visit.
