The meaning of colour

Black
Black is not a happy color in India. India does not like black. It is about evil and death. Or a penance. A black mark on a child's forehead keeps evil away. At certain occasions the superstitious do not wear black -- not at weddings or births or by the pregnant. Children are not meant to wear black.
