v2.c74.s8.11
Again we know some deities have their particular colours—the great Viṣṇu is pitāmbara, Balarāma is nīlāmbara, Devis like Durgā raktambarā and other famous gods like Brahmā are śuklāmbara. Therefore some of the sculptured images are even painted so as to show the intended colours of their chiselled costumes.
