Seasons in Tripura

Points: Nature’s bounty in Tripura — Local seasons — Conclusion. 

             Nature seem to bestow Tripura with varied beauty in her successive seasons. This land of forests, rivers and scanty plains appears in different garbs in different seasons.
             The summer in Tripura, is comparatively dry and hot as against the adjacent plain lands of Bangladesh and Assam. The rivers big and small which run through it become mostly dry and fordable at places. Forests which looked gaunt begin, with the approach of winter, to sprout new leaves of quickly changing colour. Very soon her slim rivers become full to the brim, and rush forward with tremendous speed, carrying big trees and whatever else the flood water meets on the way. The ferocity of downpour in the rainy season causes woes but it also helps to cool the heat of summer and usher in the season of cultivation. It is also the season of jack-fruits and excellent pine-apples for which Tripura is so famous. Autumn comes after the rains and the clouds vanish and the spotless dome of blue sky appears over the blossoms of many colors. The season prepares the country for the many colourful festivals, and gladdens the heart of Tripuris with the prospects of new crops. Autumn is followed by winter which though short-lived is severe in its intensity. The damsels then dance and sing to add to the joy of all. ‘The spring soon follows with ‘keshia’ and ‘krishnachura’ fully clad in blood-red petals.
             Thus the various seasons adorn Tripura throughout the year and make this small hilly state so lovely and so dear to its people.
