Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

traditional seasons

Solution :

The correct answer is traditional seasons.


Explanation:

In India, the traditional Hindu calendar divides the year into six distinct seasons, known as Ritus. Each season lasts for approximately two months and corresponds to specific climatic changes and cultural festivities.


The three names mentioned in the question represent three of these traditional seasons:

1. Vasanta Ritu: Spring season (typically occurring around March and April).

2. Grishma Ritu: Summer season (typically occurring around May and June).

3. Varsha Ritu: Monsoon or rainy season (typically occurring around July and August).


The remaining three traditional seasons in the Indian subcontinental climate calendar are Sharad (Autumn), Hemanta (Pre-winter), and Shishira (Winter). Therefore, ‘Vasanta’, ‘Grishma’, and ‘Varsha’ are names of traditional seasons in India.
