Kalidasa's Ritusamharam, 'A Garland of Seasons' unfolds the panorama of the six glorious seasons of India. The poem is rich in the erotic imagery of the human response to the extreme heat of summer, the torrential rains, the languid ripening of autumn, the intimacy of winter and the revival of life in spring.
