Balipadyami Story:
Legend says that King Bali was very popular because he was a good leader. With the help of his Guru Shukracharya, he got to the point where he was almost unbeatable. Because of this, Bali soon took over heaven from Indra. And Balindra got the prestigious title of Chakravarthi, which means “emperor.” Bali chose to do Ashvamedha Yajna to show how powerful he was.
Indra asked Lord Vishnu for help to get back his heaven, which he had lost.
As the dwarf Vamana, Lord Vishnu went to the Yajna. Vamana asked King Bali for three steps of land, which he gave him right away. Soon, the short Vamana grew so big that it couldn’t be described with words.
When Vamana took his first step, he walked over the whole Earth. His second step went across the whole sky. The third step had nowhere to go, so King Bali gave up his head. Vamana sent Bali to the Underworld, also known as Patala Loka. Vamana made King Bali the emperor of the underworld because he was a well-liked and good leader. He was also given the blessing that for one day, the Bali Padyami day, he could rule the whole universe.
