Hare Krishna dear Pooja Chawla Mataji, please accept my humble obeisance! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
in the reality we should not put Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna under some astrological restrictions. But sometimes out of love we can do it also. But usually we do not care about color we just want to give to Him whatever if beautiful and comfortable for Him.
But even though if You want:
on Monday usually white, milk color
on Tuesday bloody red
on Wednesday green
Thursday yellow
Friday white life a diamond
Saturday blue, black
Sunday red, orange
Your servant,
Hare Krishna!!
Thank you, Mataji! Someone told me that I should dress Him as per specific colours only. So glad you clarified :)
Ys,
Pooja
