I like doing season posts, one because I see it around me and two it is a chance to explore the motifs of the season and how it is incorporated in art and fashion. Of course not all the motifs yield pictures I can use, e.g. the mahua and its spring association. Or bees, a recurring motif in spring poetry.
Of the ones I have done, see the posts on the season itself (vasant ritu), the trees and flowers of the season, asoka, palash, karnika, bamboo, kunda and a solo bird appearance in the koel.
Today’s pic is Avinash Godbole’s illustration of Raag Vasanta for Air India. That jacket precedes Manish Arora I think:), the bird on the flute is the koel (cuckoo), the flower stalk on the turban is likely gulmohur, a more identifiable modern motif of spring in India.
