The colour red symbolizes lifeforce, preservation, fire, and sacred things or places. Also riddled with duality, fire can represent warmth and comfort, but can also be a destructive force. Red is associated with the Buddha Amitabha. ... It is believed to be a protective colour. Here we see three shades of red and one of them is worn by a Buddhist monk. Little bit of blue, green and white add contrast to the picture. It was a hard task for photographer Partha Dam to persuade the young monk for a click.
