Orange

Orange is considered an important and religious colour among Hindus. Chhatt Puja, being a Hindu festival, orange has its own significance. Orange is the colour between red and yellow and therefore holds the significance of them both. 

Green

The colour green is considered to be close to nature. It symbolises happiness and fertility and is considered to be peaceful to the eyes. The green colour is also worn for positivity. For the occasion of Chhath Puja 2021, green can be worn with different combinations. 

Pink
