“India has always been exalted and remembered fondly as the country of colors. To an outsider, its colorful culture, streets, and stories seem like a page out of an ancient folk tale. But color, in essence, has been a large part of the Indian consciousness.

From the deep orange marigold flowers that bejewel almost every celebration to the deep hues of red that deck up the bride on her most important day, color in India has, over time, become synonymous with religion - an expression of faith and beliefs. In a country where a deep understanding of the prevalent diversity is perhaps the only common thread that ties its people together, India is a magical experience that ought not to be missed.

In a country as diverse and culturally vibrant as India, it is perhaps the common, simple expressions of color that hold together the multitudes of outlooks, lifestyles, and traditions. The symbolism of color stands out and controls every aspect of life in India, be it religion, politics, festivals, or celebrations. In India, be it the north, south, west, or east, color and culture go hand in hand.”

‘These sorts of reactions are pretty straight-forward, as the colors are directly associated in our minds with temperatures: orange-red fire, cool blue water, cold ice and snow. More interesting and controversial is the idea that colors have psychological associations...’ (Ref. http://www.sensationalcolor.com/color-messages-meanings/color-around-the-globe/india-a-country-of-symbolic-colors.html ; June 8, 2012)
