Balija or Balija Naidu Matrimony is a social group spread across the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh (mostly in Rayalaseema region), Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. Balija marriages are happening in southern states of our country through Marriage Portals. Balijas are considered a sub-caste of the Kapu caste in Andhra Pradesh. Some historians surmise that the balija grouping was formed by a small social change that occurred amongst some sections of the Kapu community .Balijas supposedly shared the same history with Kunbi and Kurmis. Kunbhee in Hindustani is known as Kapu in Telugu.
It is believed that the Sanskrit term vanijya for a trader, became balanja and balija.Balijas believe they originated when their God Chamundeshwari threw rice into the sacrificial fire from which a host of warriors sprang out. Indian Matrimonial Websites have become a part of Marriages in India, providing right matches for people within their own community as well as in other communities too. The Kavara and Gajulu Balija trace their mythological origins to Himavanta when he sacrificed a bull to Lord Brahma and from the fire emerged a person who brought forth combs, bangles, perfumes, sandals, powder, beads, and colored palf-leaf rolls for the ear for Parvati.
There are 2 major linguistic branches among Balijas: Telugu speaking and Kannada speaking. There are numerous sub-divisions among Balijas, many of which are divided based on the trade or occupation. Some sub-castes include Balija Settis, Gajula Balija / Kavarai Balija / Sugavansi Balija in Tamil Nadu.
