Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 8. In Kerala , we expect Mahabali , (the Bali Chakravarthy, who had offered his head as the third step, for Maha Vishnu's measurement, Vamana Avatara), to come and visit us once a year. This is definitely related to calendar, in my view. Mahabali visits us during the malayalam calendar month of ''chingam'' (Simham - Leo). This calendar month system corresponds to position of Sun. Sun in Aries is Medam(mesham) for us and Sun in Leo is (Chingam)Simham. Sun in Chingam is definitely an once a year event. Moreover here we have a specific nakshathra attached for his visit in this month. Utharashada(Uthradam) in Makara Rahi is the first-Preparatory day and the next star Thiru Onam (Sravanam) is the day of visit of Maha Bali and is celebrated as ''Onam''. As you know bali is sacrifice and Mahabali is the greatest sacrifice. Thus this is Yajna. Since when this festival has been celebrated - I do not know! But this is part of Vamana Avatara. So you may see the role of star and Rashi here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
