The Beauty of Autumn


As the rain peters out the autumn sets in. The autumn comes as a relief in the wake of the nagging rain. During Autumn season, the cloud appears tired of raining. It is weary and old. It drifts across the sky leisurely with its silvery head that looks like a huge mass of cotton. The sky has erases its last trace of black stain and turns deep blue. The earth surface is covered with while ‘shiuli’ flowers. The crowning glory of the season is its procession of festivals. Mahalaya, Durga Puja, Lakshmi Puja, Kali Puja, Bhratri Dwitiya fill the hearts of the people with high spirits and delight. Clad in new garments rich and poor, young and old visit the pandals and have ‘darshan’ of the images of deities. It is a time for travelling and trekking. It is an occasion for family reunion too.
