The scriptural basis of this unique idol is based on one of the stories about Lord Vishnu’s reincarnation. Back in time, Mahabali, an Asura King ruled the earth. Worrying he would make his way to Swargaloka, Vishnu was looked upon for help. He then takes on the Vamana avatar to visit King Mahabali, it is when the king asks what he could offer as Dakshina to the little brahmin - Vishnu himself appears in his Vishwaroopam. He asks for as much space as covered by his feet, as he steps onto all the three Lokas. His points his foot towards the Svargaloka, while the other side is seen pointing three fingers as the symbolism to his Dakshina. This bronze idol is a tangible story to be known.
