Actually, the region with the most intense lightening includes Jharkhand, West Bengal, North Odisha and some adjoining areas. This is because Norwesters are generally experienced in these areas.
Colours vary with changing atmospheric composition, which includes suspended particles, water vapour, gasses etc. Less or more of these make the colours vary at different times.

Skymet predict a Low Pressure Area will develop over Bay Of Bengal when it will form ?? And Is this system intensify into depression ??
Right now it is a cyclonic circulation and looks like will only turn into a feeble low pressure area.
There is no chance of this system intensifying into a depression.
