Hemonto utsab


The early autumn season of Shorot comes in Bhadro and Ashwin. Shorot is characterised by clearing skies at the end of the Monsoons above, and below is the pungent odour emitted from golden jute collected and processed by farmers on every piece of available dry land. Then Hemonto swings through the fields of Bengal with cooler days in the months of Kartik and Ograhayon. Farmers take to clearing harvested fields to make way for winter crops and the iconic bucolic beauty of Bengal takes shape in both these seasons where the landscape is laced with Shaplas and Kashphools in full bloom.
