In a country steeped in religious beliefs, the origin of most colours lies in the powers and mythical lives of its gods. The color blue, for instance, is associated with Lord Krishna, perhaps one of the most favored gods in India. And, as is obvious for any agricultural economy, green symbolizes a new beginning, harvest, and happiness. It is also the revered color of Islam, a large religious presence in India. Green symbolizes nature and therefore is a manifestation of God himself.
