Balarama Avatar

This avatar took place between Ram avatar and Krishna avatar as elder brother of Sri Krishna. He is regarded as incarnation of Seshanag. Unlike Sri Krishna, he was fair complexioned. Otherwise they looked alike in many aspects.

HE was conceived as seventh child in the womb of Devaki. Devaki had a divine feeling right from the time of conception of this child. Under orders from the Lord, to save this child from the clutches of Kamsa, Yogamaya transferred this foetus to the womb of Rohini (the other wife of Vasudeva). Because he was drawn from one womb and transplanted in another womb he was called Shankarshna. He is elder brother of Krishna because he was conceived earlier.
