Is Shi Rama the same as Balarama?

In: Ramayana [Edit categories]

Answer:

There are three Ramas in hinduism. Two are accepted incarnations of Lord Vishnu. They are Rama, son of King Dasharatha; and Parashurama, son of Sage Jamdagni. But at times Balarama, son of Krishna's father Vasudeva with another wife, Rohini, and elder to Krishna, also is counted as an avatara. Rama, the son of King Dasharatha and Balarama are different.
