Varsha (season)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Varsha (Sanskrit: वर्षा, romanized: Varṣā) is the season of monsoon in the Hindu calendar.[1] It is one of the six seasons (ritu), each lasting two months, the others being Vasanta (spring), Grishma (summer), Sharada (autumn), Hemanta (pre-winter), and Shishira (winter).[2]
It falls in the two months of Shravana and Bhadrapada of the Hindu calendar, or July and August of the Gregorian calendar.[3] It is preceded by Grishma, the summer season, and followed by Sharada, the autumn season.
In addition to the season, the word Varsha can also be used for rain or rainfall. [4] In Urdu, Varsha (rainfall) is referred to as Baarish.[5]
