Balipratipada is an ancient festival that has its mention in the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, and several major Puranas, such as the Brahma Purana, Kurma Purana, Matsya Purana and others. The earliest mention of Bali's story being acted out in dramas and poetry of ancient India is found in the c. 2nd-century BCE Mahabhaṣya of Patanjali on Panini's Astadhyayi 3.1.26. Balipratipada commemorates the annual return of Mahabali to Earth and the victory of Vamana – one of many creative incarnations of Vishnu. The festival has links to the Vedic era sura-asura Samudra Manthana that revealed Goddess Lakshmi and where Mahabali was the king of the asuras.
