Ah yes, those were the days! Researching the traditional tales for The Kerala Collection has resulted in some interesting images that tell the tale of the mythical King Bali. A great, benevolent and popular King he none the less ended up irritating the gods due to his enormous prosperity and insatiable appetite for more kingdoms. The gods feared that theirs would be the next on his list of places to conquer. Consequently they approached Lord Vishnu for his help in reigning in the great King. Utimately Vishnu complied and came up with a clever scheme to put Bali in his place.
