That’s interesting. So Mahabali was an emperor. Did he live at the time before or after Mahabharata?
Subhan Zein
Mahabali lived before the time of Mahabharata. Mahabali lived in Treta Yuga (2nd Yuga). The events of the Mahabharata take place at the end of the Dwapara Yuga (3rd), Now it’s Kali Yuga (4th), according to the Hindu mythology. Thank you.
I love your poetry! Indian culture has always fascinated me. I love bhangra dancing.
Hm, a powerful one
Onam is a festival, celebrated to welcome the homecoming of the legendary Emperor Mahabali.
Well is Mahabali a festival?
Yes! & many Maruts!
