Path: Hindu

This 10 day festival marks the annual homecoming of the legendary and benevolent Raha/King Mahabali from Patla Loka where he was sent by Lord Vishnu’s Vamana avatar. He was a demon but was known for being generous and kind-hearted. Popular belief is that his spirit returns to his kingdom to see his subjects happy and prosperous on the occasion of the auspicious harvest festival. The celebrations include boat races, colorful masks, music, song, dances and flower arrangements.
