Photographer Raghubir Singh once said that India
knows colour through intuition. Colour in India
is more than just visual aesthetics, it has its own seasons, its own symbolism
and sociology. Each colour tells a complex story.
Yellow: Every colour has its symbolism and sociology. We look at the stories
linked to the colour of Spring in India At the Dargah of Nizamuddin Auliya in Delhi ,
spring is celebrated with everyone wearing yellow and carrying mustard pots.
The yellow stone of Jaisalmer is the yellow gold for the people of the town.
The yellow 'odhni' worn by the women of Rajasthan signify that they are mothers
of new born sons. Yellow was the colour of sacrifice. Bhagat Singh would say
'mera rang de basanti chola'. Yellow is the colour of haldi, used prominently
in traditions across India .
The film is a journey in search of Yellow across
