Official Colour - Saffron

Saffron (Shades of Orange) and some Shades of Golden Yellow is Official colour of Hinduism, which is part of Hinduism and Its sub religions from date immemorial may be by 7000-10000 BCE. If there is any color that can symbolize all aspects of Hinduism, it's saffron - the color of Agni or fire, which symbolizes the Supreme Being. The saffron color, also auspicious to the Buddhists and the Jains, sikhs too have adopted this colour and seems to have obtained religious significance much more 1000's of years before these religions came into being.

Hinduism believe this as sacred colour and has power to influence mind and brain. Saffron : Fire worship had its origin in the Vedic age. The foremost hymn in the Rig Veda glorifies fire: "Agnimile purohitam yagnasya devam rtvijam, hotaram ratna dhatamam." When sages moved from one ashram to another, it was customary to carry fire along. The inconvenience to carry a burning substance over long distances may have given rise to the symbol of a saffron flag. Triangular and often forked saffron flags are seen fluttering atop Hindu temples. While Sikhs regard it as a militant color, Buddhist monks and Hindu saints wear robes of this color as a mark of renunciation of material life.
