Ballatha

Ballatha is a Malayalam word (ബല്യ) that roughly translates to "big" or "large". It is often used as an adjective to describe something significant in size, scope, or importance. While "valiya" is a more common and widely understood equivalent, "ballatha" carries a slightly more archaic or formal connotation, and its usage may be regionally specific within Kerala. It is not commonly used in everyday conversation but can be found in older literary works or specific dialects. The term emphasizes the magnitude or extent of the object or concept it modifies.
