Six Lesyas (Verified)

Each is given a colour of the complexion and those are Krsna (black), Nila (blue), Kapota (grey), Teju (red), Padma (translated both yellow and saDisplayron), Sukla (white). It is significant that human characteristic is attached to each colour, known as Laksana, thus, colour also serves as a symbol linked with a human action.
