Wikipedia Trail: Krishna to Royal Canadian Mounted Police

I started this trail by learning more about Krishna. Krishna is a major deity in Hinduism, one of the avatars of Vishnu. He is the god of compassions, tenderness, and love. I then moved on to Jambul which is a a fruit that comes from a tropical tree commonly found in the India subcontinent. I was lead here because some Indian texts describe Krishna's skin as being the color of Jambul. From here I went on to read about Crimson which I chose for fairly obvious reasons (Boomer). Crimson is a strong read color that originally came from dye produced from the kermes insects. Lastly, I found my way to Royal Canadian Mounted Police because their uniforms are crimson. Very interesting trail.

  1. Hahah, I always find Wikipedia Trails interesting to read. I don't realize how much I actually do this when I'm just surfing the internet and something catches my eye. I just find it so funny how something like Krishna in your case can lead you to Royal Canadian mounted police. I definitely didn't know the origin of how the Crimson color came about. Great post. Good luck to you as the semester closes!
