(“plow”) The hala is
a common Indian plow that represents farming and is also regarded a weapon in
Hindu iconography, the field of study dealing with the representation of
diverse characters.
The hala is most typically connected with Vishnu's
incarnations, although Krishna's brother Balarama is the only one who
constantly wears it.
One of his epithets is Haladhara ("bearer of a
plow").
