Peacocks are singing sweet and loud your beautiful eyes are like a charms fascinating  and enticing the soul bride.. Dark clouds. Black thunder with a flash of lightening, Drops of rain, The smell of wet earth. The red gulmohar in all its glory....

It is a pleasant to take long walks or to go out on picnics. During the Shraavan maas,Teej ,Gangaur festivals denotes the commencement of the rains... The festival is organized for two days in the Hindu month of Shravan, which usually  is dedicated to the Goddess Parvati, commemorating her union with Lord Shiva. ladies like to swing on the 'Jhulas' bejeweled with flowers. Young girls and women dressed in green clothes, sing songs in celebration of the initiation of the monsoon.celebration of the freedom from the scorching heat. The soothing drop of rains falling on the dry and scorched land, along with the pleasant smell of the wet soil discharges us from the unbearable heat of the summers. The melodious Saavan songs can be heard coming out of every house during the month.  The mango, the King of fruits, is the special fruit of this season. Mangoes of different varieties can be seen hanging in large numbers from the branches of trees. Young and old, rich and poor, all like to enjoy the fruit.
 The roads in the countryside become muddy and slippery. The drains are filled up. It is difficult to walk along the road.the roads are flooded. People have to wade through the water. Thus a heavy rainfall causes great inconvenience to people, specially the office-goers and workers.sufficient rainfall, the soil will remain saturated for long enough that crop' roots are starved of oxygen. In these cases crops turn yellow and may eventually die so Sawaan is very necessery for farms as underground water for whole year depend on these three months .Shraavan supports the livelihood of almost each person on this mother earth.
