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]
