Ritusamhara by Kalidasa Part 1
Ritusamhara is a lyrical poem of 144 stanzas in 6 cantos. The poem gives a graphic and poetic description of the six seasons of India. As such it can be called the ”Medley of Seasons” or “Garland of Seasons”. The six seasons that have been described by Kalidasa are Summer, Spring, Monsoons, Autumn, Frost and Winters. In this video lesson I have discussed the first ten stanzas of Canto One which is Summer.
