Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)Fragrant Wind is associated with the Spring season, which follows specific guidelines of ancient Indian Painting (citra), according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—Change of weather is the foremost reason of different seasons, in which the nature changes her forms in different ways. 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. [...] In the context of the spring season in the Ṛtusaṃhāra, the reader can visualise a beautiful picture of nature with trees full of flowers, waters, lotuses, fragrant wind, pleasant evening and delightful days.
