There is a doubt.
Rama was born in Ayodhya, in North India where they are fair skinned.
Rama, Dark-brown?'
Dravidians have this complexion.
Yet another twist.
""In the four yugas"Satya, Tret, Dvpara and Kali"the Lord incarnates in four colors: white, red, black and yellow respectively. These are the colors of the incarnations in different millenniums.
" Madhya 20.330
The yugas are known as Satya-yuga, Treta-yuga, Dvapara-yuga andKali-yuga. The incarnations of each yuga are of different color. The colors are white, red, black and yellow. In the Dvapara-yuga, Lord Krsna in black color appeared, and in the Kali-yuga Lord Caitanya in yellow color appeared.
