About the Varshaa: Rain Melodies
Varshaa (Rain Melodies) portrays the characteristic moods of Monsoon rains of Kerala. The monsoons transform the state of Kerala into a land of verdant beauty. Locally known as Edavapathi or the heavy Southwest Monsoon and Thulavarsham or the Northeast Monsoon, these rainy seasons provide the much-needed nourishment to the land and its inhabitants. The climate during the monsoon is relished by both animate and inanimate, some of which spring to life, while others get rejuvenated. In Kerala, the Monsoons cut the pace of life to a low gear, but life does not come to a halt. As the Monsoons dictate the rhythm of life, the people, as well as other life forms, become part of it. For some, the music that the rains bring is exciting and for those with a literary bent of mind, the climate perks up their creative thoughts. While some idle away in the all-prevailing cool ambience, children often indulge in fun-based activities in the water world.
