Was King Mahabali a native of Kerala?


Yes he was.
We have this popular belief that Mahabali was the ruler of Kerala. Some say it is a myth and such a person didn’t exist. The earliest record of the festival is found during the reign of Kulasekhara Perumals around AD 800.
But I am bit confused where exactly in present day Kerala.
In Tamil Nadu there is Mahabalipuram.The name Mähäbalipuram means "The land of Mahabali".
