Why Hindu Gods Are Blue? [Solved]
Well, Hinduism has a thing for symbols and blue is one of ’em. Swami Chinmayananda, the brains behind Chinmaya Mission, reckons that anything infinite and immeasurable can only be seen as blue - just like how the summer sky looks to us.
Brahma: The Creator God of the Hindu Trinity, often depicted with four heads and four arms, and wearing blue clothing.
Vishnu: The Preserver God of the Hindu Trinity, often depicted with four arms and blue skin.
Shiva: The Destroyer God of the Hindu Trinity, often depicted with three eyes and a blue throat from drinking poison to save the world from destruction.
Krishna: An avatar of Vishnu who is often portrayed as a young boy playing a flute while wearing blue clothing or having blue skin.
Hanuman: A monkey god who is an ardent devotee of Rama (an avatar of Vishnu) and is usually shown in a standing posture with his face painted in various shades of blue or wearing a bright blue garment.
Indra: The King of Gods in Vedic mythology who rides on an elephant called Airavata which has four tusks that are colored bright blue to symbolize his power over rain clouds and thunderstorms
Hindu gods are often depicted with blue skin, representing the divine and infinite nature of the gods. It’s a way of showing that they’re not bound by the same rules as us mere mortals! Plus, it looks pretty cool. Whoa!
