I think practically it is crimson red (hue); when speaking about complexion of Divine mother. 1. The red color is also indicative of rajasic guna of the trigunas (Bhagavad Gita - white -> satvic, red->rajasic and black->tamasic). Then why is that red color is so much important ? 2. Any connection with tantra or tantric practices ? regards kalyani Platinum - Watch CBS' NCAA March Madness, live on your desktop! http://platinum.
