We journey back to the legendary golden age of King Mahabali – a kingdom where justice, compassion, prosperity and unity flourished, and every life was valued.
Through a vibrant fusion of Bharatanatyam, Mohiniyattam, semi-classical dance, Kaikottikali, Kalaripayattu, Chenda and our youngest performers, we bring this timeless story to life.
Witness the beauty of Keralam, the glory of Mahabali’s reign, the arrival of Vamana and the extraordinary tale of three steps that changed the course of a kingdom.

The story is deliberately presented in English so that we can share the richness of Onam with young people and with a wider, non-Malayalee audience.
We want everyone to understand, connect with and celebrate the story, traditions and values behind this much-loved festival – helping to put Onam on the map for a new generation and a wider community.
A story of generosity, devotion, humility and the enduring spirit of Onam.

Please enjoy “Mahabali – The Spirit of Onam”, directed by Jasline Shimmy Antony and
performed by MAUK LADA students and community.
