Emperor Akbar asked the councilors, if four months are left out of twelve, then how much is left? Everyone responded in one tone, eight. However, Birbal's mathematics was different from everyone else. He said, Where is the wall! Four of the twelve are left, the rest is zero. The king said with surprise, how? Then Birbal explained to them, our country is predominantly agricultural. Farming is based on rainfall. If four months of rain fall out of the twelve months of the year, what will be left? Drought, famine, pestilence and death orgy. Hearing this new interpretation, everyone started looking at each other in the assembly.
It is also true that, where the rainy season transmits life in every particle of nature, the soil also gets filled with greenery. The rainy season also plays an important role in awakening the spiritual consciousness of the individual and society. Hence the term 'Chaturmas' was used for four months of the rainy season. If there is no rainy season then the rest of the seasons become insignificant. Without this, all their beauty goes away. It is the rainy season that quenches the thirst of the earth with its cold water and makes it fertile. As the rains begin, some natural changes in nature begin. Change of environment is most prominent among them. While the cold water of the rain makes the environment cool and pleasant, it also becomes a factor of origin of many types of organisms. This is a time when music is the gamut of drops. Wind, clouds, trees, papyhas all seem to be swinging and singing. Whereas this euphoria erupts as the perennial, Kajri and Jhula songs from the vocals of the folk, the melody-melting melody seems to roam in the hearts of the sur-seekers.
Describing the beauty of rain in the 28th canto of the Kishkindha episode of Valmiki Ramayana, Shriram says, 'The rainy season has arrived. Look, the sky is covered with large clouds like mountains. It seems as if reaching the sky from the clouds of clouds, Archana's flower necklace resembles the garlands of the sun image, the beloved Narayan is adorning the sun. Poets enchanted by the beauty of the clouds descending the slopes of the mountains in the rainy season. It has a wonderful depiction of the rivers, the waterfalls, the waterfalls, the frogs of the frogs, the jiggles, the beauty of the forest groves and the play of the birds and animals. In 'Meghdootam', the cursed Yaksha straying from Alkapuri is requested to send Meghos as messengers and send messages of love and affection to their beloved Priyakshi. It is said that Mahakavi Kalidas was the one who wanted to send messages from the clouds to his beloved from Ujjain to Kashmir. Chatanandan, synonymous with rainy season, is also a season that gives pleasure to Chatak. After the end of the rainy season, these birds return to Africa via the Arabian Sea again with the returning monsoon from October to November. Just like the foreigner Balam Chaturmas used to leave his beloved and return to work. Is it possible to draw such a picture of the monsoon season elsewhere?
It is this word picture that fills glee in the Doon Valley during the rainy season. The scattered greenery, the new Pallavas on the dry trees, seems as if the valley has abandoned its dilapidated clothes and worn new green clothes. With the thunder of the clouds in the sky, the golden chapala Damini's thirak in the glittering clouds gives the impression of dancing in the accompaniment of mridanga playing. The peacock, excited by the thunderclap, dances in a wide spread with its colorful feathers. The flying lines between the Shyamvarni cloud seem very attractive. Then the poet wakes up, 'I barkha bahar pare boondani showers, Ghori bhijat anganwa are sanwaria, Gori-gori baiyan wearing green-green bangles, further gold kanganwa are sanwaria, gajarva in hair sohe nainan beach sajra, forehead lali re tikuliya are Sanwaria.
