KrishnaBalija is a separated sect of people who belong to SriVaishnava Dasars existing in South India way back even prior to 11th Century AD. These people are a sect of Vaishnavites of whom some were engaged as temple servants and the others administer the spiritual and ritual needs of the lower classes in the society. They were followers of the Hindu and Ramanuja religions, singing divine hymns to spread devotional literature among the people of scattered habitations of the then Kingdoms and Samsthans. Fondly chanting the name of God with Vairagya Tathwa, they were traveling across the country on foot earning good respect from the common people everywhere. After the invasions of Muslim Sulthans towards the western and southern regions of the country, the existence of these people was troubled a bit and they drifted to other ways for their living. As they were leading a sort of nomadic life, they hadn’t accumulated properties anywhere which lead their subsequent generations into poverty and backwardness. With the knowledge they acquired while travelling across different regions and places they started preparing the fancy, beauty care and ornamental items mainly used by the women and selling them in the Janapadams while moving from place to place as the way of their life. Mainly they started production of Sindhur(Kumkum) by blending natural materials in a traditional method and it was widely being used for all auspicious Temple ritual procedures and also was a regular need for all women and men for everyday use. They also make Bukka colours like red, amber, yellow, green, indigo and blue etc., for sprinkling during the popular spring festive celebrations. It was prepared by blending Sandalwood powder, Vattivellu, Uttreni roots etc with other natural ingredients. In addition to Sindhur, they were preparing not only Bukka but also Gulab and Panniru etc which were also mainly used in the times of celebrationss.
