Other than chlorophyll, which other pigment is necessary for photosynthesis?

Carotenoids are the pigments, which are necessary for photosynthesis other than chlorophyll. Carotenoids are yellow, orange, red or brown pigments, which absorb sunlight and pass this energy on to chlorophyll for the purpose of photosynthesis. Thus, the carotenoids themselves do not carry out photosynthesis but help in photosynthesis.
