Balarama

Balarama is yet another sub- character in Mahabharata and also Bhagavata Purana. He is the beloved cousin of Krishna. However, the truth is that Balarama is the biological brother of Krishna and 7th son of Devaki and Vasudeva and the adoptive son of Nanda and Rohini. Some texts say that Balarama is the incarnation of Ananta and some also say he is an avatar of Vishnu.
