Source: archive.org: Natya ShastraPrāvṛṣ (प्रावृष्).—The rainy season (prāvṛṣ) is to be indicated through the representation of the Kadamba, the Nimba and the Kuṭaja flowers, green grass, Indragopa insects and groups of peacocks. A night in the rainy season should be indicated by the loud sound of the masses of clouds, falling showers of rain, as well as lightning and peals of thunder.
