Hada's colors are blue, white, red, green and yellow. Blue symbolizes blue sky, white symbolizes white clouds, green symbolizes rivers and rivers, red symbolizes the protector of space, and yellow symbolizes the earth.
Hada advocated by Mongolian people is blue, which is related to their national religious beliefs. White and yellow hada originally did not belong to the Mongolian nationality. Later, with the full penetration of Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia, white Hada and yellow Hada also appeared in Mongolian grassland.
However, there are fundamental differences in the use of several hadas because of their different missions and meanings. White hadas are only used for funeral occasions, while yellow hadas are only used for worshipping Buddha. These two exotic hadas cannot replace the inherent blue hadas.
The Mongolian people in Erdos also have the habit of using a small amount of Hada in silver gray, white, yellow and blue.
