In the diverse and multifaceted Hindu religion, the saffron colour is one of the few elements that commands a universal acceptance among Hindus.
The saffron pigment is traditionally derived from the saffron plant (Autumn crocus) which is called Keshar from which the saffron colour derives one of its names - Keshari.
Count DAlviella says that the Swastika is continued among the Buddhists of Tibet; that the women ornament their petticoats with it, and that it is also placed upon the breasts of their dead.
The mystical emblem of the Swastika, which appears to represent the sun in his journey through the heavens, is of constant occurrence.
A Swastika symbol is made before it with the rice flour and sugar brought as an offering to the tree.
