After the Rains
A Clearer Sky, A Brighter World
Veda:Akka, everything looks so fresh! The air is different.
What season is this?
Akka:This is Sharad — the season associated with the time after the rains.
Veda:What is special about it?
Akka:Across much of India, the heavy rains begin to recede, the skies
become clearer, water remains in the landscape, and the world feels
washed and renewed. Sharada Navaratri arrives in this
seasonal moment.

A festival does not happen against a blank background. Sharada Navaratri arrives inside a living season.
How does the world feel different after the rains? What do you notice when the sky clears?
