In Spite of his birth in Demon kul (family), he was religious and very charitable. Additionally, he was loyal and always served the people of his kingdom with great dedication.

King Bali also started ruling in heaven and replaced Devraj (king of Gods) Indra. On this, Devraj Indra and all the other gods got scared of King Bali. Therefore, all of them prayed to Lord Vishnu for the protection against him. Thus, Lord Vishnu took the Vamana avatar (5th avatar of Shri Vishnu Dasam Awatar) and went to King Bali. King Bali was performing a Havana, when Lord Vamana reached there. He requested King Bali to donate three steps of land to him. However, King Bali accepted this request of Vamana.

On this, Lord Vamana took a giant form and measured whole Universe in one step, Heaven in second step and for third step, he asked King Bali to where to keep his foot. Consequently, King Bali asked Lord Vamana to keep his foot over his head. And, after keeping foot over the head of King Bali, Lord Vamana was pleased with devotion and truthfulness of King Bali.
