Bali Pratipadya[edit]
Balipratipada commemorates the annual return of Mahabali to earth and the victory of Vamana – one of the ten incarnations of Vishnu and the fifth incarnation in the Dashavatara list. It marks the victory of Vishnu over Mahabali and all asuras, through his metamorphosis into Trivikrama.[3] At the time of his defeat, Bali was already a Vishnu-devotee and a benevolent ruler over a peaceful, prosperous kingdom.[4] Vishnu's victory over Mahabali using "three steps" ended the war.[5][11] According to Hindu mythology, Mahabali asked for and was granted the boon by Vishnu, whereby he returns to earth once a year when he will be remembered and worshipped, and reincarnate in a future birth as Indra.[4][12][13]
