→Trivia
- The film's title references the 'Tesu' or 'Palash' tree, whose bright orange flowers are traditionally used to make Holi colors in parts of India.
- Director Akshit Sharma reportedly used a mix of professional actors and non-professional local women from rural areas for authentic performances.
- The documentary's musical score incorporates folk instruments and melodies from the Braj region of Uttar Pradesh, where the Tesu flower is culturally significant.
- Much of the filming took place in actual villages during the spring harvest of Tesu flowers to capture the real process of making natural colors.
- The film's narrative structure is inspired by the concept of 'Panchabhuta' (the five elements), with each section symbolically linked to an element.
- It was shot on a combination of digital cinema cameras and older analog film to visually distinguish between the protagonist's childhood and adult memories.
- The project was partially funded through grants from cultural organizations focusing on indigenous arts and sustainable practices.
