There are 3 genders in Sanskrit: masculine, feminine and neuter.
Although the genders of some nouns correspond to their physical gender (e.g. पुरुष = 'man' is masculine, स्त्री = 'woman' is feminine), the gender of most nouns is arbitrary.
The gender of a noun must be looked up in a dictionary.
Other but not so accurate way is that to check the gender of that word in any of the regional Indian language that you know. Most of the times the gender of words in any of the Indian regional languages are same as that in Sanskrit. Though there are exceptions to this.
