Description

Some 1500 years ago, the great ancient poet Kaalidaas?wrote a lyrical poem named Ritu-Sanhaar in Sanskrit language. Ritu-Sanhaar means description of seasons. Kaalidaas divided the year in six seasons. Season means Ritu. the six seasons are Greeshm Ritu (4th may-30th june), Varsha Ritu (1st july-12th sept), Sharad Ritu (13th sept-26th oct), Hemant Ritu (27th oct-24th dec), Shishir Ritu (25th dec-4th mar), and Vasant Ritu (5th mar-3rd may).Over the years I have recorded my observations of nature including flowers, trees, birds, festivals and cultural activities in India. This medium size Indian Spring season painting portrays Vasant Ritu in which the atmosphere has turned colorful with the purple/violet bloom of Neelee Gulmohar (Jacaranda Mimosifolia). The Golden Oriole has arrived in North India from Southern India to spend the six summer months in search of food and to breed. Done on Yupo paper this painting is extraordinarily vibrant, cheerful, and mood uplifting. It can be hung together with vk-240? ? ? ? ? ?
