Krishna is considered male in Hindu mythology. He is one of the most revered deities in Hinduism and is often depicted as a young, charming cowherd boy or as a divine charioteer guiding Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita. His stories, especially those from the Mahabharata and the Bhagavata Purana, highlight his male identity and his role as a protector and guide.
Krishna’s male identity is central to his portrayal in various texts and art forms. He is often shown with a flute, symbolizing his role as a divine lover and musician. His relationships, particularly with Radha and the gopis, further emphasize his male persona. In Hindu iconography, Krishna is always depicted as a male figure, reinforcing his identity as a male deity.
