Lord Vamana has blessed king Sri Mahabali on his request for three feet of mud ,the mood of the deity in the temple is that of blessing the king Mahabali. Vishnu was ever pleased with the goodness of Mahabali. He educated Bali about the demerits of pride and arrogance, which forbids man from optimum progress. He allowed Mahabali to take shelter in the Paradise of the devine abode, where lived the pure Prahlada. MahaVishnu further blessed Mahabali, that he would be the ruler of the earth in the following age or Yuga. Those who sacrifice themselves in the lotus feet of the deity get his blessings.
