The Trivikrama panel is from the Varaha Cave, Mahabalipuram, 7th c. CE, Pallava dynasty.
It is when the Vamana avtar of Vishnu takes Trivikrama ruup as Raja MahaBali (a Brahmin & not “dark skinned Dalit”) agrees to grant him the wishes.
Onam is a Hindu festival.

Here Vishnu is seen holding a bow, shield, & sword, along with his sankha, chakra, & gada. Among the figures present around Him are Surya & Chandra, while MahaBali & his asuras are shown at His feet. Brahma & Shiva sitting on lotuses on two sides are also witnessing the event.
On top is Jambavan beating a drum celebrating the defeat of Bali. The figure on left of Trivikrama seen bent in mid-air is that of Trisanku, whose space is half way between Earth & Heaven. Since the foot of Vishnu reaches above Trisankhu, it denotes his foot has reached Heaven.
For the popular leftist narrative that “Onam is a harvest festival” (a fake propaganda to remove the Hindu religious tag), even a harvest festival means worshipping the Mother Earth/ Sri- Bhudevi, which will ALSO make it a Hindu festival.
