Krsna is a major deity in Hinduism, revered as the eighth avatar of Vishnu. He is often depicted as a young man playing a flute, surrounded by gopis (cowherd girls) and cows, symbolizing his connection to nature and pastoral life. Krsna's life and teachings are primarily found in the ancient texts, including the Bhagavad Gita and the Mahabharata. Krsna is celebrated for his divine playfulness, wisdom, and compassion. He is known for his role in the Kurukshetra War, where he served as a charioteer and guide to Arjuna, imparting spiritual knowledge. His festivals, such as Janmashtami, commemorate his birth and are widely celebrated across India and beyond.
