Lord Krishna

Major Hindu deity and central figure of the Bhagavad Gita.

Krishna is a major Hindu deity and epic-puranic figure whose identities and narratives developed across Sanskrit and vernacular traditions over long periods; he is not a documented modern public person. In the Bhagavad Gita he counsels Arjuna within an epic crisis, while wider traditions portray divine play, kingship, kinship, protection, devotion, and cosmic sovereignty.
