In Punjabi culture, ਲਾਲ is the traditional color for bridal wear. While Western brides wear white, Punjabi brides typically wear a red lehenga or sari to symbolize prosperity and fertility.
In Punjabi poetry and folk songs, the word ਲਾਲ is often used as a term of endearment for a beloved child or a precious son, rather than just a color.
