Flowers like shefali and kash bloom. Shefali fills the morning air with its sweet fragrance.
Autumn is a season of festivals. The Durga Puja, the greatest festival of the Hindus, is held in this season. People of all classes enjoy themselves. Schools and colleges remain closed for a long time. People wear new clothes and visit puja pandals. The Durga Puja is followed by the Lakshmi Puja and the Kali Puja. Autumn is indeed a season of joy and happiness to the people of Bengal.
