Balambika (Deity) (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”.^[1]

Balambika’s description appears in her sacred text the Balambika Dasakam. She is also pictured^[2] as having four arms and a red circle on each palm. She holds a sacred textbook and a japamala with two of her arms. 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.
