Autumn (sharat) Lasts during
Bhadra and Ashvin (mid-August to mid-October). This is traditionally the
season when housewives put out clothes, musty and damp because of the
rains, to air and dry in the hot sun of Bhadra. However, the bright day
is often punctuated by sudden showers. The dark clouds in a grey sky,
characteristic of the rainy season, are replaced by white clouds
floating in a blue sky. Though at the beginning of this season, the days
can be hot and sultry, towards the end of the season the nights and
mornings become cool. The gradual decrease of humidity also makes the
weather comfortable. During autumn a large number of fragrant flowers
blossom: shiuli, roses, bakul, mallika, kamini and madhabi. The lotus
grows in the wetlands and kash flower on the riverfronts. This is also
the time when the palmyra ripens.durga puja is celebrated during this season.
