The story of Onam and Raksha Bandhan | Trivikrama Panel, Mamallapuram
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2022
- The Varaha Mandapa at Mamallapuram in Tamil Nadu is a 7th-century rock-cut cave temple built by the Pallava kings. On a wall inside, you can see a beautifully carved sculpture called the Trivikrama panel. It tells the story of King Mahabali and Vamana, an avatar of Lord Vishnu. The popular version of this tale ends with the connection between Mahabali and the festival of Onam. But there is a lesser-known sequel to this story. It is one of the many charming stories that explain the origin of the festival of Raksha Bandhan (or Rakhi). The panel also tells the story of King Trishanku; you can see his image on one side of the panel, hanging upside down in an awkward position. Now how does he fit into this storyline? This short video will take you through all these fascinating stories from Hindu mythology.

Wow!!! Absolutely fascinating. Link between Mahabali and Raksha Bandhan was wonderful. I was really amazed to know the location of Trishanku heaven 😍 . Glad to see you back
Thank you :) Glad you liked it.
7:50 Trishanku's reason for depiction is unbelievably amazing 💯🔥
In Maharashtra and Karnataka , we celebrate this home coming of King Mahabali is celebrated on the day of Bali Pratipada (the day next to Deepavali Lakshmi pooja ) .
Thanks for sharing
Yes right.
Not sure about Karnataka but we from the farmers community from Maharashtra can confirm this.
Thanks you guys for coming back
Thank you :)
Mam, I suggest a minor correction at 1:24 Mahabali was an Asura/Daitya, not a Demon. Unlike Demons, who are described as antigods in Abrahamic religions, many Asuras were devotees of God.
A beautiful rendering of three different subjects interwoven into each other done with such aplomb and grace. Thank you so much for deciphering the intricate masterpieces bequeathed to us by the Pallavas.
I love your video. You guys are doing such a great job at keeping our culture alive 👏👏👏

5:07 that is so cool that the real raksha bandhan was for the raksha of brother with the love and power of the Feminine energy😮❤, it just breaks all the rhetoric created by relentless skeptics that Raksha Bandhan is "patriarchal"
Very nice story and Excellent Presentation. ..Good Job Again by Team Story trails 👏👏👏
Odias call this day Gamha Purnami, where cattle is tied beautiful threads and worshipped along with the Earth goddess( Bhuin Debi). Also, it's believed that Sri Krishna and Radha begin their Monsoon adventures from this day and they are traditionally sat in bamboo swings and people imitate the Gopis, by swinging along with the divine couple and singing their praise, hence its also called Jhulana or Jhulana Jyatra.
Great presentation,
I loved it
Thanku for presenting such beautiful stories... It's our culture and history which tied us ❤ .
I'm so mesmerized 😍😍😍
Pleasant 8mins video
Wowwwww. Such amazing story telling
wonderful story ...
I don't see any Tamilian, IG Hinduism has ended in Tamil Nadu, well seeing their hate for Hinduism IG it was obvious.......but one thing that will prevail is the hate for other Indians or Hindus for that matter😕😔😢
Superbly narrated. Intetesting stories. Brief but important, intetesting stories.
Lovely stories, well narrated. You all are experts in conveying a lot in brief. Good to see you back Akila.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful stories from our ancient traditions. Really like your style of narration - perfect for children and adults.
Love it...thank you
So informative and nice way of presentation.please keep posting more and more, tons of love ❤️
U guys are excellent
Superb!
Wow! Really appreciate how you presented the stories. Loved to hear them. I subscribed to your channel.
Loved it ❤
I would like to point this out that its better not to call/indicate Asuras as demons. That is not accurate term or interpretation. Its better to call them what they really were Asuras as they were as mighty if not more as devas, and they were not evil.
Interesting
Wow 🙏🙏🙏
We should get an option for a million likes for this story telling and brillyvideo
Good content guys.. 👍
Thank you :)
Actually the boon was that Mahabali can come 3 times and we Maharashtrians celebrate the coming of bali raja on the third, forth or day ( according to the local tradition, in Maharashtra it’s considered 5th day) of Deepavali, which is bali pratipada, women make idols of cow dung depicting the bali rajyam which consists of gavlani (gopikas of bali rajyam), Draupadi- Pandavas and Bali raja and his wives. These are made from the dhanatrayodashi to bali pratipada each day the number of idols are increased and are worshipped everyday.

Vamana is the rising sun. He takes 3 steps- one ascending, next descending, and third one in the unknown world of night.He is thrivikrama.Onam is to remember Him.
In keralam Onam is celebrating for Mahabali.. As return of our king. Vamana considered as a cheater
@@darkroomentertainment5882 Sorry for your ignorance!
@@RamaKrishnan-ml3mt same to you
@@darkroomentertainment5882visshnu a cheater?? that came from a christian christian or muslim dog mind not a hindu, Vishnu always loved his devotee Mahabali or his grandad pralahad🥰
Isn't that southern cross constellation also related to the cross of christianity ?
Correct me if wrong... So the only avatar out of 10 where a good man is banished
Nice story. But how would you explain why Rakshabandan is not celeberated in Kerala or in Tamilnadu traditionally, and same for oonam in the gangetic belt? Is this just you finding an interesting observation to make the story trail interesting, or you are seriously proposing it as a historical significance of those two celebrations that are distantly celebrated? 😀
Could you add the names of the narrators pls
Why was the name Mahabalipuram changed to Mamallapuram? The former name seems to be more appropriate, at least in the context of this story.
Is it Namuchi or Trishanku?
He was nt a demon
We Marathi people say every year इडा पिडा टळो आणि बळीचे राज्य यावे
Make video on Jains nd their dynasties
In Karnataka jainism has ruled almost more than 500-700 years nd it was very growing in south India
Tamilnadu trivendram karnataka etc
Our country got name Bharat from the son of 1st jain tirthankar rishabhdeva
Please do let world know that jainism is the oldest nd what is the specialty of this religion
Nd how it’s population declined in such bad way
But in South India,Rakshabandan is not celebrated.
Crypto Chrischun
Confusing! Raksha bandhan is not celebrated much in kerala and is not part of Malayali culture. Why is one festival(Onam) celebrated so widely in Kerala, while the other (Raksha bandhan) one is not much celebrated, as in other parts of India? One possibility is that there could be multiple kings named 'Mahabali' and the king Mahabali related to Onam is not the same as one related to Rakshabandhan. Feels like something is out of place with this conclusion.
Trishansku was worried he will loose his spiritual progress he made. He was old when he made the request!
It has got nothing to do with his beauty!
Asur idiots manipulate every Sura story!
Where are the Hindu gods and goddesses now?
So where is the Jesus.
@@Sanatani_Vishesh Jesus is in the Heaven.... Not only The Holy Bible but your Vedas also say it.
Now tell, where are your gods and goddesses now.
@@SonOfChrist777
Tell the shloks from the vedas which tells about Jesus.
@@SonOfChrist777Bhagwan is every where, in each and every particle of this universe.
@@SonOfChrist777
So, you are saying that Jesus is in heaven, then Shiva and Maa Parvati lives in the Mrityulok, Maa laxmi and Narayan in Vaikuntha lok, Brahma and MAA Saraswati in brahmalok. And Devatas in Swarglok.
Your imagination is influenced by Jatak kathas found all over South East Asia 😂😂😂
Science journey se chuda hua
How do you 'cover' a spherical earth with a flat foot ?
That doesn't make sense.
How did your Jesus walk in water??
I am really amused bro...i even heard that
He used to heal dead person
Why didn't your jesus pass that technology to his followers
Earth is round/spherical. He does not need to touch everything to cover it. He just need to touch the land and water and automatically, everything in between is His by association. Just like touching an arm is also considered touching (part of) your body.
Please learn to differentiate between symbolism and reality 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
If foot is large enough all of Earth will hide beneath it, even if the earth is sphere, and in Indian many temples 1000s of year old..... Earth is always shown as sphere......with heliocentric model....earth situated on a back of a tortoise ... thank you 🙏
hahah , get yours history / story right. know the facts.
bali was a hypocite, he made everyone do rituals . but rituals karmakand , were for show only, like today brahmins.
he shows ppl that he was good , he was very good in wearing a mask of good.
all avatars come to protect the sadhus - his ppl / good / truth only. if he was good/ truth god would have never had to come.
know u r facts.
@@atrikashyap9999
But he had captured the swargalok, which has disturbed the cycle, so Vishnu Ji came and by his leela he made situation, so Bali has to live in patalok.
A just Dravidian king was killed by Brahmins and later the story spinned to portray as a blessing by God.
They are good in making stories after stories, after a bad act. Jo jeetha, wohi sikandher
If Brahmins really wanted to, they couldve made him as an evil man who had to be wiped out
@@chinanumbawun111 he is literally being called "demon" king and the moral, a demon king however good he is, should not be let alive and Vishnu does the dirty job of wiping hin out. Unfortunately for Brahmins they could spin the story only to certain extent. They can't fabricate stories of these demon kings ever being cruel to his subjects. They needed a justification to kill him, that's all.
Most temples in South India, both Saiva and Vaishnava have the same standard template for their Sthala purana or festivals. Some demon king (dark skinned with moustache) is given a boon by the gods, he becomes too powerful, captures all world's, becomes a threat to Devas ( fair skinned clean shaven poonul/ jeanu clan), uses the boon against gods. Now threatened devas seek some x god to save them. This god executes a peculiar plan to slay the demon. Vamana, Narakasura, Mahishasura, Hiranyan, Ravana.. list goes on.
Between 8th to 14th centuries, lot of dravidian kings were assassinated by Brahmins. People continued to love those kings. Later these stories were spinned to appropriate their killing but not anger the subjects. Conquest of Aryans over Dravidian land.
@@satheeshkumarvenkatesan6599 very nice fairytales 😂😂😂
@@chinanumbawun111 entire oi called hindooism exists purely on fairytales.
