Seasons remind us that change is the law of nature and a sign of progress. In India, there are mainly six seasons as per the ancient Hindu calendar (the Lunisolar Hindu). The twelve months in a year are divided into six seasons of two-month duration each. These seasons include Vasant Ritu (Spring), Grishma Ritu (Summer), Varsha Ritu (Monsoon), Sharad Ritu (Autumn), Hemant Ritu (Pre-Winter) and Shishir Ritu (Winter). However, as per the India Meteorological Department (IMD), there are four seasons in India like other parts of the world. 1) Spring Season (Vasant Ritu) • The spring season in India is a season of two-month duration which are March and April. In the Hindu calendar, this season occurs in the months of Chaitra and Baisakh respectively. • It is a pleasant and beautiful season with an average temperature of 32 degree centigrade. It starts after the winter and lasts till summer starts. The day becomes longer and nights become shorter in this season.

Birds and animals also love this season and are happy in this season. Birds start chirping, singing and butterflies start hovering over the flowers.

  • Orbis Final Issue 1 Dec 2020
    Orbis To know your world better Geography Department Volume 1 / Issue 1, January 2021 Editor’s Note It is a delight to introduce the first issue of “Orbis”, a publication that carries the soul of the geography department. A lot of people and their hard work went behind every page of this issue to ensure its perfection. Our main motive with the publication is to remove the cliche of geography being limited to memorising locations on maps or identifying temperature conditions of an area. Geography is the culmination of man, earth, and the intricate bond shared between the two. Through this publication, we want to show the various aspects of geography and how even the most abstract of things are always meaningful in the greater context. From the importance of the Himalayas from a geographical and a cultural aspect, to dance playing a role in highlighting a place in the world map, to travelling a city through a friend’s eyes, to shedding light on an issue of our earth that is not that known in the world. These are a few examples of the things that are encased in this issue and will be in future issues too. We hope that through our publication everyone can see the riveting and engrossing nature of Geography and begin to appreciate its potential. Also, I will like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy journey of 365 and one- fourth days around the Sun! Thank you. Sanjana Barooah Class 11 RELIGION OF GEOGRAPHY OR GEOGRAPHY OF RELIGION Religion and Geography are very divergent in nature in current times and one is often inclined to believe that they have nothing to do with each other.
