For 2026, the designated color for the rituals, including the anointing of oil on April 15, was red. Facing south was the required direction for the ritual at 6:55 AM. If you are participating in delayed village festivities this week, red remains the dominant lucky color for the season. Wearing new clothes in this shade is believed to bring vitality and protection for the coming year.
