Bangladesh is a country of six seasons. The rotation of the six seasons of summer, monsoon, autumn, fall(Hemanta), winter and spring diversifies Bangladesh. Each season has its own unique characteristics. Each season comes into our lives with a variety of flowers, fruits and crops. In the nature of Bengal, the alternation of the seasons draws Alpana of infinite beauty. Our eyes are filled with joy. Heart. The scorching heat of summer, the rain of clear rain clouds, the soft skies of autumn, the fertile fields of autumn, the dewy mornings of winter and the push fragrance of spring bring a touch of diversity to the nature and life of Bengal. This change of nature in the rotation of the seasons has made Bangladesh the queen of beauty. Very few countries have such an amazingly diverse nature.
That is why the poet Dwijendralal Roy said overflowing with emotion-
‘You will not find such a country anywhere
She is the queen of all countries, my homeland. '
Rotation of seasons:
Climate change and geographical location are at the root of seasonal change in Bangladesh. The country is bounded on the north by the vast Himalayas, and on the south by the Bay of Bengal. The currents of thousands of rivers have met there. The effect of monsoon is rain. The rains make the soil of this country fertile, flowers and crops flourish. The silt carries the current of the river. He lives on the lifeblood of the soil. Due to its beauty, the nature of this country has become unique. Six consecutive seasons come in this country dressed in new clothes. The country with such a varied season may be nowhere else in the world.
Season Introduction:
One season every two months of the twelve months of the year as a calendar. Baishakh - senior two months summer, Ashar - Shravan rainy season, Bhadra - Ashwin Shart kal, Kartik - Agrahayan autumn, Poush - Magh winter and Falgun - Chaitra spring. However, the change of seasons does not always follow the calculation of the month. Without it, the seasons do not change overnight or day by day. Alaksh bids farewell to a season, arrives silently in a new corner of the season. In an invisible law of nature, the barrier is the coming and going of the season.
Heat-burned summer :
At the beginning of the menstrual cycle, the summer begins with the 'gray rough, dusty tangle in the dust'. The Bengali month of Baishakh-Jyastha and English is usually the period of summer from May to June. Summer comes in nature with its duranta and rudra form. In the heat of summer, canals, beels, rivers and canals dry up. Holds cracks in dehydrated soil. The leaves of the tree become rough. In the unbearable heat, all the animals and birds, including humans, became tired of the cool air and shade.
In the words of the poet-
‘Sweat drips every summer afternoon
There is no water in the pond.
Summer not only spreads roughness in public life, but also generously donates juicy fruits like mango, blackberry, jackfruit, litchi, watermelon etc. And for this reason, another name for summer is honeymoon. Mango, the aroma of jackfruit
Sajal Barsha(rainy season) :
In the poems of Rabindranath
'In the blue sky, in the dark sky
No more sesame seeds
They are out of the house today. '
With the departure of summer comes the monsoon. Clouds piled up in the distant sky to fill the heated nature with softness. Its range is from the month of Ashar-Shravan (June to August). Although two months is one season, the rainy season lasts for about three months. With the arrival of the monsoon, life came back to the burnt fields. Rivers and canals are filled to the brim. The incessant rains bring the liveliness back to the rough nature of summer. Intense peace returns to public life. As if Maya Kajal spreads in nature.
In the words of the poet Sufia Kamal,
‘I come in the rain, I end the summer heat
Maya Kajal's eyes filled with armor.
On the other hand, the monsoon comes with the promise of harvest in the life of the farmer. At the beginning of the monsoon, farmers plant paddy and jute saplings in the land. Ketki, Keya and Kadam spread fragrance in the air. Guava, pineapple, etc. fruits on the trees.
Poet Guru Rabindranath Tagore's voice is heard-
‘Calling Guru Guru, Kadam Keya is boiling
The peacock is happily holding the feathers
It is raining all day long.
In the rainy season, the low lying areas of Bangladesh are submerged. Break occurs in the river. Floods occur in different regions. Even urban areas are submerged. In the rainy season, the misery of the poor people increases. Human normal life is disrupted.
White autumn(sharat season) :
‘Today in the case of paddy, the sun is playing hide and seek
A raft of white clouds floated in the blue sky. '
- Rabindranath Tagore
This is how autumn comes in the seasonal cycle of Bengal. .Saying goodbye to the black clouds and rainy days, the white clouds and the sun play hide and seek and autumn comes with indescribable beauty. Bhadra-Ashwin i.e. English August-October with autumn. Autumn air full of hyacinth fragrance. White clouds floated like cotton in the blue sky and the two banks of the river became bright with the ceremony of white cashew flowers. The nature of autumn is met with the fragrance of flowers like hyacinth, kamini, jasmine etc. Waves play in the gentle breeze in the fields of green crops. Overwhelmed by the light touch of dew and the sweet sunshine of the autumn morning
The poet says-
‘Today is your sweet idol Herinu Sharad Prabhat’.
Autumn of the crop(Hemanta season) :
Saying goodbye to the beauty of autumn, autumn comes in the style of monasticism. Kartik-Agrahayan, i.e. English, lasts from October to mid-December. Nature dressed in the colors of monasticism in autumn, that is, in this season there is an abundance of yellow in nature. Field after field of mustard swells. On the other hand, there is golden ripe paddy. Autumn is basically the harvest season. At this time there is a ceremony of grain in the field.
That is why Rabindranath sang rightly-
‘Oma, in the field full of incense
What a sweet smile I saw.
At this time the farmers were busy in harvesting. The pleasant smell of ripe paddy fills the air. The farmer's shell was filled with golden paddy, and a smile of joy appeared on the face of the farmer's bride. In the festival of Navanna, the public life of rural Bengal became popular. New rice cakes, puli and pies are made at home.
Sad winter :
As soon as the autumn leaves, winter floats in the north wind with a blanket of thick fog. The winter months of Poush and Magh in Bengali and English last from December to the last part of February. Winter comes with freezing cold air and fog. This is the coldest season of the year. In Kankan winter, people and nature come together. In severe winters, the leaves fade and fall off. Children, the elderly and the poor suffer the most when the incidence of winter is high. In the midst of all the emptiness of winter, the touch of the morning sun and the sweet taste of date juice and pitha-puli fill the mind. A variety of vegetables, fruits and flowers make winter popular. On the one hand, the hardships of winter, on the other hand, the joy of winter in Bangladesh is thrilling with the celebration of flowers, fruits, crops and cakes.
Poet Guru therefore did not forget to write poems about winter-
‘It was winter today
Amalki's 6 branches.
Rituraj Spring :
Finally spring comes in the guise of a king. Nature erases the emptiness of winter and becomes full of flowers. Spring from mid-February to mid-April. At this time the vibration of new leaves is observed in the trees. Nature and mind sway in the gentle breeze of the south. Nature wakes up in Kokil's Kuhutan. Shimul, Krishnachura, Radhachura, Arjuna, etc., in colorful flowers with spring beauty. Spring is like the flowering season. Malti-Mallika, Parul, Pial, Champa, Korbi flowers seem to have no end. Butterflies and bees of different colors collect honey by flying. The gentle scent of the mango buds makes the air m. The nature of Bengal awoke in the spring season with endless vitality. The enchanting form of eternal youth spring completes the Bengali seasonal diversity.
Mango buds and swollen bees hum the bee. The gentle south wind and the croaking of the cuckoo create a wonderful spring.
Fascinated by the allure of spring
Rabindranath said-
‘Aha! Today this spring-
How many flowers are blooming, how many flutes are playing, how many birds are singing '.
Influence of six seasons in Bengali life :
This seasonal diversity of Bengal affects not only the bosom of nature, but also the human mind and life in equal measure. Just as the heat of summer or the onset of winter slows down human life, so does the speed of life in other seasons. After the harshness of the summer, the farmers went down to the field with double enthusiasm in the rainy season, sowing the crop. In the autumn, there is a rush to take that crop home again. The influence of the seasons is especially noticeable in Bengali culture, poetry and music. Poets have written innumerable poems and songs, captivated by the beauty of each season. The painters have highlighted the beauty of nature in their paintings. During the seasons, various pujas, fairs and festivals are celebrated in the life of rural Bengal. In other words, the life of the people of this country is closely related to the change of seasons in Bangladesh.
Conclusion:
Bangladesh green land of diverse beauty. A variety of forms can be seen here in the course of the seasons. The rough nature of summer, the watery life of monsoon, the cashew flowers of autumn, the festival of autumn harvest, the foggy mornings of winter and the flowering of spring have made Bangladesh look different. Is there such a diverse form of nature anywhere else in the world?
