Water falling from clouds.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Rain is almost always celebrated with 'Pakoras' and 'Chai'. Schools sometimes give a 'Rainy Day' holiday if the downpour is heavy. The 'Sāwan' month is famous for swings (jhūlay) and songs about rain. It's a time for women to gather and celebrate. Rain (Bārish) is a major theme in poetry, symbolizing the 'tears of the clouds' or a messenger between lovers. In cities like Karachi or Lahore, rain is a mix of joy and concern due to urban flooding. People check Twitter/X immediately when it starts.
