VEDIK GYAN:

*In Ramayana*

*Bali* , the king of Kishkindha, was the elder brother of Sugreev. He was a son o Indra who had given him a celestial necklace. It was a necklace with special properties for, after wearing it, if Bali battled with anyone, half the strength of his opponent would be transferred to him.

*Sugreev wife* name was *Ruma or Roma*

*Bali wife* name was *Tara*

*Bali* was invincible during Treta Yuga. Nali defeated some of the greatest warriors like Ravana. Bali was blessed with the ability to obtain half the strength of his opponent. Hence, Rama killed Bali by hiding behind the trees.

After Bali’s death, Sugriva reclaimed the vanara kingdom, took back his wife, *Rumā* and took over Bali’s main wife, *Tara* , who became empress and her son by Bali, Angada, who became crown prince.
