Legend behind Balipadyami:

According to Hindu mythology, Bali Pratipada commemorates Lord Vishnu’s victory over the demon-king Bali in the dwarf form of Valama. King Bali, also known as Mahabali, was a generous guy who ruled over a happy and satisfied kingdom. He was noted for his bravery, uprightness, and devotion to the Hindu god Vishnu. He was also arrogant, and the gods detested him. The gods were incensed by his harassment and requested Vishnu’s help in eliminating Bali.

Lord Vishnu took the form of a dwarf named Vamana in his fifth of ten incarnations. Vamana approached Bali, requesting charity and devotion. He requested three paces of land from the monarch, which he accepted. Because there was no room for Vamana’s third step, the dwarf assumed the enormous universal form and placed his first step on universal space, his second on earth, and because there was no room for Vamana’s third step, Bali offered his head to place his third step, realizing that the dwarf was Lord Vishnu’s incarnation. Vishnu sent him to the netherworld of Sutala.

Vishnu was so moved by Bali’s compassion that he bestowed upon him a blessing that allowed him to visit Earth once a year. People light candles to honor his homecoming, aiming to dispel darkness and spread love and knowledge. The kingdom of Bali is supposed to correspond to modern-day Kerala.
