Adiyen belongs to Vadakalai tradition and has been adorning red-colored Sirchoornam from a young age, based on the practice of my father. My father changed to yellow Srichoornam for some time now. My father said only the Vaidikas wear yellow Srichoornam. Kindly advise the reason why the elders adorn red and yellow colored Sirchoornam. Have noticed the Srichoornam that adorns Vedanta Deskian in the picture is red-colored. Can red Srichoornam be used while adoring twelve Thiruman?
