Signification
A lot of rainfall.
Contexte culturel
Heavy rain is synonymous with 'Khichuri-Ilish'. It's a ritual to cook lentil-rice porridge and fried Hilsa fish when it pours. Heavy rain often leads to 'waterlogging' in old Kolkata streets. People use it as a valid excuse for missing social events. For farmers, heavy rain is essential for 'Aman' rice cultivation, but too much can destroy the 'Aush' crop. Rain (Barsha) is the most romanticized season. Heavy rain often symbolizes the longing for a lover (Viraha).
