Prabashvara

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prabhashvara is the color of the aura of Gautama Buddha.[1] The actual spectrum of his aura consists of five colors:

  • 'nila' (sapphire blue)
  • 'pita' (golden yellow)
  • 'lohita' (crimson)
  • 'odata' (white)
  • 'manjesta' (scarlet)

The mixture of those five colors is believed to be Prabhashvara but it is depicted as separate straps of the five colors.
