Traditional accounts describe Kinnaras as having spouses, with the female Kinnara known as a Kinnari (किन्नरी).
Kinnaris are mentioned in several ancient texts, including:
रामायण : बालकांड : अध्याय 17
Brahmā Deva asks the Devas to create Vanaras who would possess exceptional abilities, including the strength and excellence needed to defend against the Asuras. These Vanaras are described as being born through various celestial beings, including Apsaras, Nāga-kanyās, Kinnaris, and others.
Other references include:
रामायण (उत्तरकांड (89), अयोध्या कांड (9, 10, 20)), पद्म पुराण: (भूमि (111), स्वर्ग (22), उत्तर (125, 231), पाताल (117)), हरिवंश (विष्णु पर्व 118), शिव पु (रुद्र संहिताः सतीखंड (22), सतरूद्र संहिता (14)), महाभारत, स्कंद पुराण और ब्रह्मंड पुराण....
Thus, these traditions describe Kinnara and Kinnari as male and female forms of the celestial Kinnara race, with spouses and relationships within their own celestial world.
