Like śiśira, there is an abundance of snow, the sun shines weakly – resembling the moon – and those who can stay indoors, preferably with their lovers*.

It is the season to stay home, curl up alone or with family or someone special and watch bad TV. Well not in Australia but you get the picture 🙂

*Venetia Ansell on the month of hemanta – her blog is all kinds of wonderful and has a great informative rundown of the seasons in Sanskrit literature.
