Guest guest Report post Posted April 14, 2005 I've never seen Lord Rama in green color. If you have any like this can you post them here? I collect picture of all Krsna's forms. Interesting to know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted April 14, 2005 Pictures iv seen are painted my vaishnava groups such as iskcon who pay attention to details to iconography based on the scriptures, therefore i would assume that the use of green to paint lord rama is significant.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 14, 2005 In some places He is described as the color of a green parrot. In other places as blueish. In different yugas Lord Rama came in different colors. Tulasidas saw him as the color of the blue lotus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 14, 2005 There are indeed some scriptural quotes to the effect that Sri Ramacandra has the complexion of fresh durva grass, hence green. I'm afraid that I am not able to find any of these quotes at the moment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
