In Chinese culture, red is a lucky colour; it's often used for gift giving or weddings. Similarly in Hinduism, red is considered lucky (as far as I've read) and brides wear red at their weddings. The only commonality I can see between Indian culture and Chinese culture (in terms of beliefs) is Buddhism, is it because of this or something entirely different or a coincidence?

    I guess, but at the same time, I don’t think red necessarily means luck in India based on the sources that I’ve read.
