Many Gursikhs ask how does the Basanti colour looks like. The flowers in the picture below are of Basanti colour, the best colour for Keski, as per Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh jee:



This colour is different from the Orange/Bhagva colour that is common for Keskis now a days. Singhs should try using the Basanti colour instead of Kesri colour for their Keskis.

A Point to note,
navy blue is also known as "Surmai" in gurmukhi.
It is one of the darkest shades of blue available in kapra stores.
And Like here, it can be mistaken for black in photographs or from distance.

If in Punjab, ask for Basanti & Surmai
If Abroad, ask for Lemon Yellow & Navy Blue (not royal blue)
