There is no conflicting story of Onam- there’s just one narrative i.e. the benevolent asura king Mahabali was buried under the earth by Vamana avatar of Lord VIshnu who also fulfilled his request to allow him to visit his people every year

Mujhe lagta h, islam and hindu ye sab politician ka kiya hua h,
Jinhone ye start kiya tha, unka esa koi erada nahi hoga,
