According to the legend, once King Bali performed Ashwamedha Yajna. Then Lord Vishnu took the Vamana avatar and asked for a donation of three steps.
Vishnu and Mata Lakshmi: King Bali asked for a boon from Lord Vishnu that he should always be in front of him. God decided to live in the Patal Lok with King Bali. When Mata Lakshmi came to know about this, she became worried and consulted Narada Muni.
Start of Rakhi: On the advice of Narada ji, Goddess Lakshmi disguised to King Bali and tied her and made her brother. In the case, she asked for Lord Vishnu back. Raja Bali took the promise and let Vishnu ji go with Goddess Lakshmi. Then the tradition of Rakshabandhan is going on that the sister ties Rakhi and takes the protection from her brother.
