Balambika (also known as “Bala”) is a goddess of the Hindu religion, usually found in South India. Her name means “Goddess Of Knowledge”, or “Child Goddess”.
Balambika is considered a child, and acts as one, but is said to bring true knowledge, education, wisdom, power and prosperity for a better life.[3] She is sometimes called the goddess of children, and therefore, her temple was constructed to be devoted to children.
