When the Sun is in a position to the south of the Earth, the period is known as Visarga Kala , and it includes three Ritu beginning with Varsha, Sharad , and Hemanta . This year is divided into seasons for the purpose of Swasthavritta in distinct seasons. The Ritucharya Chapter has also shed more light on the relationship between Ritu and Disease. With particular reference to Sharad Ritu , where Agni appears to be Madhyam , which may be the source of Pittaj Diseases. The connection between Sharadkaleen Rogas and nonobservance of Ritucharya can be observed. Diseases characterized by Pitta Dosha occur as a natural phenomenon in Sharad Ritu . All pathophysiology involved in the initiation of exacerbated Pitta Dosha during Sharad Ritu is taken into considerations. N EED OF S TUDY According to Acharya Vagbhata, Ritus or seasons can be identified following one of three methods: A B S T R A C T The newly emerging diseases and diminishing immunity have made humans to seriously think about their health. Lifestyle modulation and adaptation according to climate is the need of hour. The glorious Ayurveda has its principal focus of conserving health and prevention of disease before their occurrence [1] Aacharya’s have described Dincharya (daily regimen) and Ritucharya (seasonal regimen). One can cherish good health by following proper Ritucharya , described in classical texts of Ayurveda . The living beings especially humans are hugely affected by the change in climate. The features of all the Ritus , dietary and habitual modulation according to changing Ritu has been widely explained in the foremost texts of Ayurveda . Here, the Sharad Ritu which is one of the Ritu’s of Dakshinayan is overviewed so as to present the dietary and behavioural regimen in this season. The Sharad Ritu marks the transition from summers to winters. The hot sun rays in Sharad Ritu exaggerate the Pitta Dosha which is already accumulated in body in the Varsha Ritu . So dietary and habitual modifications which are Pitta Shamak in nature should be followed in Sharad Ritu along with the Shodhan procedures like Virechan and Raktamokshan Key words: Sharad Ritu, Ritucharya, Dakshinayan, Sharatritu, Ritucharya, Aharavihara, Hamsodaka.

[Summary: This page discusses methods for identifying Ritu based on month, zodiac, and environmental characteristics. It emphasizes the need for quantitative Ritu assessment in Ayurveda and modern dietary adaptations in Sharad Ritu. The study aims to standardize Sharad Ritu using meteorological factors, develop criteria for assessing Pitta Prakopa, and prepare a contemporary Ahara-Vihara module. It also explains the classification of Ritu according to Acharya Vagbhata.]

Vinod Bajiya et al. An analytical study on Sharad Ritucharya ISSN: 2456-3110 REVIEW ARTICLE February 2024 Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences | February 2024 | Vol. 9 | Issue 2 123 1 Classification according to month. 2 Classification according to the sun in different zodiac. 3 Classification according to characteristics of Sheeta, Ushna, Varsha, animal activities, environmental conditions, flowering etc [2] Ritu identification based on month and zodiac is a preliminary estimate. Because the exact day or Tithi for any season cannot be specified, Ritu can only be identified based on Ritu Lakshana. Ritu Lakshana in Ayurveda is qualitative hence it must be quantitative for Ritu assessment. In Ayurvedic Samhitas Sharad has been mentioned as month of Pitta Prakopa to establish this principle we need certain criteria to establish Pitta Prakopa in people in this Ritu . As the Ritu affects the Dosha, Bala, Agni , and other conditions in the human body, a specific Ahara-Vihara is required for that season. The concept of Ahara- Vihara is explained in Ayurvedic literature with specific examples. However, because time has passed and people's dietary habits have changed, it is necessary to describe Ahara-Vihara in Sharad Ritu in light of a modern diet pattern. As time passes, environmental conditions and people's Ahara-Vihara patterns change dramatically, necessitating the establishment of Ritucharya principles, standardisation of Ritu , and Ahara-Vihara in Sharad Ritu in accordance with the present. A IM AND O BJECTIVES 1 To standardize the Sharad Ritu as per modern meteorological factors. 2 To develop the criteria for assessment of Pitta Prakopa in Sharad Ritu . 3 To prepare an Ahara-Vihara module including contemporary diet pattern. M ATERIALS AND M ETHODS The references have been collected from various Ayurvedic texts and commentaries, modern texts, connected websites, and previous study work. The collected references have been attentively observed, assembled, analysed, and thoroughly discussed. A common description of Sharad Ritu has been developed based on Ayurveda Ritu Lakshana and modern meteorological literature, such as temperature, pressure, humidity, rainfall etc. The criteria for assessment of particular months corresponding to Sharad Ritu during months of September, October and November 2020, 2021, 2022 in Jodhpur were selected and observed. A questionnaire has been created to determine Pitta Prakopa in people during Sharad Ritu so that the theory of Pitta Prakop a in Sharad Ritu can be confirmed in future research. Based on Doshaprakopa in Ritucharya , an established Ahara Vihara module with every current dietary article has been prepared. Concepts of Ritucharya and Ritu Classification of Ritu : Acharya Vagbhata mentions the three methods listed below for determining the ritus or seasons: [2] 1 Classification according to month. 2 Classification according to the sun in different zodiac. 3 Classification according to characteristics of Sheeta, Ushna, Varsha . The two different six Ritus combination kinds are present in all books, nevertheless. Shishir Ritu should come first, and Pravat Ritu should come second. The former combination is indicated for Ritucharya , whereas the latter one is for Shanshodhana Karma . The geographical division of India is yet another idea. The six seasons Varsha, Sharad, Hemant, Vasanta, Grishma, and Pravit were once again used as a metaphor to describe the buildup, aggravation, and pacification of the physiological humours. When defining these six different sorts of seasons, neither Acharya made any mention of Ayana Kala . Ayana and the Shishir Ritu must be taken into account when Ayurveda discusses seasonal regimens for behaviour, according to this. The Pravit Ritu must be taken into

Hansodak, water detoxified by the Agasti star, is also discussed.]

Vinod Bajiya et al. An analytical study on Sharad Ritucharya ISSN: 2456-3110 REVIEW ARTICLE February 2024 Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences | February 2024 | Vol. 9 | Issue 2 124 consideration, though, when sages spoke of purification [3] It should be noted that the Ritu factor plays a significant role in the Dosha Parkopa in regard to Dosha vitiation due to excess, deficiency, or any type of seasonal adversity. The distinction between Prakrita and Vaikrita , the two sorts of Doshas Prakopa , has been made quite clearly by Acharyas . Regarding the Sanchaya, Prakopa, and Prashmana , rites have been stated. Sharada Ritucharya Ritucharya is the term used to describe following a set of rules and regulations in accordance with a certain Ritu . Only when one is aware of the specifics of the current Ritu may one follow the instructions provided in the Ayurvedic classics regarding Ritucharya . Changes in the environment and the physical descriptions of plants recorded in Ayurvedic scriptures during months of various seasons should be investigated to determine when a particular Ritu begins. Charak Samhita Sharad Ritu (autumn season) According to Acharya Charka in the Sharada (Autumn) season, the body's stored Pitta Dosha frequently becomes worsened when a body used to cold and rain is suddenly exposed to the heat of the sun. In this season food and drinks predominantly of sweet, light, cold and slightly bitter qualities and having Pitta alleviating properties should be taken in proper quantity, only when there is good appetite. The meat of Lava (common quail), Kapinjala (grey partridge), Ena (antelope), Urabhra (sheep), Sharabha (wapiti), and as well as Shalli rice (Oryza sativa Linn), barley, and wheat, should be consumed in Ghanatyaya ( Sharada Ritu ) In Sharada , purgative use, bloodletting and consumption of Tikta Ghee ( Ghee medicated with bitter substances) are advised whenever the rain clouds vanish. It is not advised to consume curd, alkaline preparations, meat from aquatic and marshy animals, or to expose yourself to the sun or consume muscular fats and oils during this season. Restrict exposure to the easterly breeze and avoid sleeping during the day [4] Hansodak- During the Sharad Ritu , Acharya Charaka and Acharya Vagbhat particularly referenced Hansodaka , a water with properties similar to nector. The word Hansodak comes from the fact that a swan only consumes the cleanest form of water, hence in Sharad Ritu , water that is detoxified by the rising of Agasti star as well as by harsh sun rays is regarded to be in the purest form. According to the Acharyas , the Hansodak is heated by the strong rays of the sun during the day and chilled by the soft moonlight at night. Hansodaka is known as Anshudak according to Acharya Bhavmishra . According to Aacharya Vaghbhatt, it is free of physical, chemical, and biological contaminants, free of toxic materials, non-arid, pacifies the Dosha , and Anabhishyansdi (does not hinder the Rasvaha Sira ). This Hansodak is suitable for drinking, bathing, and swimming [5] Sushruta Samhita The sun has a soft golden hue in the autumn. On the deep, dark blue of heaven, huge masses of white clouds can be seen sailing. Ponds are decorated with fully developed lotus blossoms, which are stirred by the wings of diving swans. The high areas get dry, but the lowlands continue to be muddy. The level plains are covered in underbrush and bushes, and numerous species of plants and trees, including Vana, Saptahva, Vandhuka, Kasha, and Asana , flower there [6] Ashtanga Hridaya In the autumn season, the bodies of the creatures that are suffering from water and therefore have coldness, there is Pitta . After that, when autumn comes, suddenly the Pitta formed in the rain in the bodies of the Animals, heated by the strong rays of the sun, becomes angry at this time. In order to overcome age, that is, it should not create any kind of Pittaj disorders, for this, Tikta Gharatpaana , Virechana and Raktmokshana should be done [7] Ashtanga Sangraha The Earth is a little muddy in fall, and the sky is clouded in white. As they begin to bloom, the water lily

Panchakarma procedures like Virechan and Raktamokshan are recommended during Sharad Ritu. It also lists Ahara and Vihara to be consumed in Sharad Ritu.]

Vinod Bajiya et al.

The sun is the object (Kapil) since the group of clouds has been removed, allowing the sun's piercing rays to fall on the planet. When bird garlands begin to fly in them, the directions become quite clear When fish and swans, which are hidden between lotuses, collide, tremendous waves are created in Sar (lakes), but the water is still pure. The bile in the Bangas who encounter rain and cold is abruptly deprived of rain and cold by the sun's beams. Properties and Pathogenic effects of Pitta Dosha All of the diseases of the Pittaja variety listed above should be recognised and treated as Pitta disorders even if only a small portion of the vitiated Pitta manifests. For instance, Pitta's distinctive characteristics include heat, sharpness, liquidity, minor unctuousness, all hues other than white and red, a fishy odour, a pungent and sour taste, and fluidity. However, Pitta's manifestations might vary depending on the organs they affect [8] Management of Pitta Dosha Drugs with sweet, bitter, astringent, and cooling properties should be used to treat abnormal Pitta Disorders. Any treatment modalities used, such as oleation, purgation, fasting, affusion, massage, etc., must have anti- Pittaja qualities and must be used in the proper dose and amount of time. Purgation is considered to be the most efficient kind of treatment for the management of Pittaja Vyadhi out of all the techniques previously described . Pitta diseases in other areas of the body are naturally controlled when Pitta in the Amashaya is subdued through the administration of purgative drugs, much to how a fire chamber cools off after the fire is put out [9] Panchakarma Procedures During Sharad Ritu [10] Virechan - Virechan is the most important Panchkarma process to perform during the Sharad Ritu due to the Prakopa Avastha of Pitta Dosha . Virechan is the most effective method for expelling overly vitiated Pitta Dosha from the body via the anal canal with purgation. Raktamokshan - During Sharad Ritu , each individual's Rakta becomes naturally vitiated due to the presence of excessive Pitta , giving rise to a variety of skin ailments. So, for the goal of Rakta Shuddhi , Tikata Ghrita should be consumed, followed by Raktamokshan (bloodletting). Aahara and Vihara to be consumed in Sharad Ritu Ahara Rasa - Food stuffs with Tikta , Madhura and Kashaya Rasa should be taken. ▪ Guna - Sheeta and Laghu Gunatmak Aahara . ▪ Shuk Dhanya (Cereals) - Shaali rice, wheat, Barley and Sathi rice. ▪ Shimbi Dhanya (legumes) - pulses like moonga . ▪ Foodstuffs like milk, products of sugarcane according to Acharya Sushrut . ▪ Fruits and vegetables - Amalki, Draksha and Patola . ▪ Non vegetable food- Meat of birds and animals which are habitats of Jangal Desha , like Lava, Kapinjal , deer, reindeer, lamb and rabbit. ▪ Hansodak , sugar dissolved water and Honey are ideal fluids during Sharad Ritu Pathya Aahara One should consume Aahara which is light and predominant in Madhura, Tikta and Kashaya Rasa when hungry. It has been recommended by Acharya Vagbhata to consume Ruksha Dravya in Sharada Ritu . It has been mentioned to consume Sheeta, Laghu Ahara predominant in Madhura, Tikta and Kashaya Rasa . Acharya Charaka has mentioned use of Madhura, Laghu, Sheeta, Tikta, Rasa predominant Aahara Dravya having potential to alleviate Pitta , should be taken in proper quantity when there is good appetite. Acharya Bhavaprakasha and Acharya Yogaratnakara has mentioned that in Sharada Ritu , one should consume Dravya which are Sheeta and predominant in Madhura, Kashaya, Tikta and Patu (Lavana) Rasa
