Jaipur Seasons – Hello Autumn!
Today, nature in Jaipur has declared autumn.
We had a few early signs around September 27, when the Parijat and Orange Jasmine – which flower only during the autumn months – suddenly came into bloom. There was a nip in the early morning air. And constellations and stars like Orion and Sirius, and Venus in relation to the moon, had taken up autumnal positions in the pre-dawn sky.
But then, abruptly, the heat returned to the air. The soil and grass turned dry again. And our autumnal shrubs stopped flowering. Only the skies remained true to the changing seasonal cycle.
All that has changed today! The pre-dawn sky had the amazing spectacle of a line-up of the moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter (earthskynews.org is great for daily updates on what is happening in the earth sky). The Parijat and Orange Jasmine are once again back in action, generous with their unique fragrances. And the dew has started to glisten on the grass at sunrise. Cooler days and nights, the garden in full bloom, winter vegetables ready to be planted….
Conclusion
As autumn arrives in Jaipur, it brings a refreshing change that signals the end of the sweltering heat and ushers in a season filled with beauty and tranquility. The vibrant flowers of Parijat and Orange Jasmine, the cool morning air, and the mesmerizing dance of planets in the early morning sky all serve as reminders of nature’s elegant rhythms. At Savista, we are lucky to experience this seasonal transformation in all its splendor, from the garden bursting into life to preparing our soil for the upcoming winter harvest. Embracing autumn in Jaipur means enjoying cooler evenings and clearer skies, perfect for experiencing the profound atmosphere of autumn nights at Savista.
