Balaram
Krishna's elder brother, his closest companion in childhood. Where Krishna went, Balaram followed — and where trouble went, both of them were usually nearby.
If your child asks about Balaram, tell them: "It is a word you might hear in Indian stories." Then ask them — "Where do you think you'd see Balaram in real life?" It opens a small conversation about Indian culture.
