According to Vedas, Lord Krishna is a dark-skinned Dravidian god.

At times, it is also translated as “all attractive”.

The same theory is floated to explain blue throat ( neelkanth) of Lord Shiva, who is believed to have drunk the poison to save the world from destruction at the time of Samudra Manthan.Įtymologically speaking, the Sanskrit word ‘Krishna’ means black or dark.
