In India, the summer season, also known as Grishma Ritu, ushers in sweltering heat and longer days. It is a period when people search for methods to remain cool and seek relief from the oppressive heat. According to the Hindu calendar, the summer, or Grishma, lasts for the two months of Jayeshtha and Ashadha. It corresponds to the time between mid-April and mid-June in the Gregorian calendar. The Sanskrit word Grishmarutu, which signifies summer, is where the name “Grishma” comes from. The intense heat of the sun during Grishma Ritu causes weariness, lethargy, and dehydration.

2023: Grishma Ritu: Importance
The summer season, also known as Grishma Ritu, is very important since it is the hottest season of the year in most of the nation. The Summer Solstice, a celestial occasion that occurs when the Sun reaches its highest position in the sky, marks the end of this season. The longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice, may be seen from either the South or North poles.
Extreme heat waves may occur during Grishma Ritu, especially in India’s northern plains and central areas. People must take steps to remain cool and hydrated since the sweltering heat is sometimes accompanied by dry winds. Avoiding direct sunlight during peak hours is advised. It’s also a good idea to dress in airy, lightweight clothes and to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
The monsoon season eventually replaces the summer season as it provides cool rain showers that provide respite from the heat. The south western monsoon often makes its way to Kerala around the end of May before moving north and eventually reaching the rest of the nation in the coming weeks. The conclusion of Grishma Ritu is signaled by the advent of the monsoon season.
