== Etymology ==<br />
The word ''Balirajpur'' is the combination of three Indic words ''Bali'', ''Raj'' and ''Pur''. Bali was the grandson of the popular [[Vishnu]] devotee [[Prahlada]] and he was the king of Asura. The term Raj means kingdom. Similarly the term Pur is used to denote city or town. Thus the literal meaning of Balirajpur is the city of the kingdom of the King Bali.<br />
<br />
== Temples ==<br />
There are several temples in the village. One of the major temple is ''Ram Janaki Mandir'' near a pond in the village.<ref>{{Cite news |title=हादसा:तालाब में डूबने के कारण 5 वर्षीय बालक की मौत |url=https://www.bhaskar.com/local/bihar/muzaffarpur/madhubani/news/5-year-old-boy-dies-due-to-drowning-in-pond-129006731.html |work=[[Dainik Bhaskar]]}}</ref><br />
