Sharad Ritu teaches us the beauty of letting go. Just as the trees shed their old leaves to make way for new growth, and the clouds disperse to reveal the clear sky, we are reminded to clear our own mental clutter.
The Sharad Purnima (full moon) is the headline act. The moonlight is so clear and cool that mythology says it showers amrit (nectar). But even during the day, the light is golden and sharp. Every photo looks filtered. Shadows are long, and sunsets are fiery.
Do you have a favorite memory associated with the autumn season? Let us know in the comments below!
Absolutely. If you could bottle a feeling, it would be a morning in Sharad Ritu—the smell of shiuli flowers (night jasmine), the sound of kites flying, and the taste of fresh gajak .
During the monsoon, the earth accumulates heat and moisture. As the sun shines brightly in Sharad to dry the earth, this heat increases the internal Pitta in our bodies. This can lead to issues like acidity, skin rashes, indigestion, or inflammation.
