About the book:- Ritusamhara is a long poem or mini-epic in Sanskrit attributed to Kalidasa. The poem has six cantos for the six Indian seasons-grisma (summer), (monsoon/rains), sarat (autumn), hemanta (cool), sisira (winter), and vasanta (spring). It is considered to be Kalidasa's earliest work. The word Ritu (seasons)with the word saṃhara is used here in the sense of "coming together" or "group". Thus, Ritusamhara has been translated as Medley of Seasons or Garland of Seasons, perhaps more aptly as the "Pageant of the Seasons", but also mistranslated as "birth and death" of seasons, which arises from the alternate meaning of samhāra as destruction.
