Every season has its own peculiarities and charms. The seasons always encourage the painters to grab different ideas from the nature. In the Sivapurāṇa, a beautiful picturisation of the Spring season is found where the spring season is described with abundance of flowers, blossoms, fragrant wind, cuckoo’s song, clean lakes, blooming lotuses etc. [...]
