Kwanzaa Kinara: Meaning of the Seven Candles and Nguzo Saba #3272616 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration shows a traditional Kwanzaa kinara with seven candles arranged symmetrically: three red on the left, one black in the center, and three green on the right. Each candle corresponds to one of the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles), celebrated daily during Kwanzaa from December 26 to January 1. The colors reflect the Pan-African flag: red for struggle, black for people, and green for hope and future.
