The change of season has started again in the green nature of Abhamman Bengal. Nature and life are changing again. The month of Kartik is now running in the Bangabda calendar of six seasons. Kartik-Agrahayana these two months are Hemantkal in Bengal. And Hemant is said to be the season of incomparable and aparup form.
