In Hindu culture, colors play an important role, and some colors are traditionally associated with specific emotions or beliefs.
- Traditional View: Black is typically seen as an inauspicious color in Hindu culture, often associated with negativity or bad luck. As Diwali is a festival of light, positivity, and joy, people generally avoid wearing black during this time. Bright colors are preferred as they symbolize happiness and prosperity.
- Modern View: However, in modern times, some people do wear black, especially if it’s part of a festive outfit with gold or silver embellishments. While black is not traditionally recommended, it’s becoming more acceptable when styled appropriately for the occasion.
