4. Summer(grishma) is the warmest of the
four temperate seasons,
between spring(vasanta) and autu
mn(sharad). At the summer (grishma) solstice,
the days are longest and the nights are shortest, with
day-length decreasing as the season progresses after
the solstice. The date of the beginning of
summer(grishma) varies according to climate, culture,
and tradition, but when it is summer(grishma) in
the Northern Hemisphere it is winter in the Southern
Hemisphere, and vice versa.

6. Autumn(sharad) is one of the
four temperate seasons.
Autumn(sharad) marks the
transition from summer into winter, in
September (Northern Hemisphere)
or March (Southern Hemisphere)
when the arrival of night becomes noticeably
earlier.
7. Winter is the coldest season of the
year in temperate climates, between
autumn(sharad) and spring (vasanta). At
the winter solstice, the days are shortest and
the nights are longest, with days lengthening
as the season progresses after the solstice.
8. Winter fall (shishir) is precipitation in the form of
flakes of crystalline water ice that fall
from clouds. Since winter fall (shishir) is
composed of small ice particles, it is a granular
material. It has an open and therefore soft
structure, unless subjected to
external pressure. winter fall
(shishir)flakes come in a variety of sizes and
shapes. Types that fall in the form of a ball due
to melting and refreezing, rather than a flake,
are known as hail, ice pellets or winter fall
(shishir) grains.
