a paragraph about late autumn season
Answers
Answer:
‘Kartic’ and ‘Agrahayan’ are the months of this season. Hemonto is called the season of dew as dew drops begin to fall during this time hinting the arrival of the winter, though it is not the winter yet. It is neither hot nor cold but one feels that winter is not far away.
Paddy ripens and is cut down in this season. Harvesting of crops begins soon. The golden paddy in the fields creates in the minds of the peasants many happy dreams. The farmers remain busy in cutting paddy and get very busy with their harvests. In late autumn, the harvest comes home, filling the days and nights of the farmers with indelible joy and happiness and infusing in them dreams of a prosperous life. During this period the farmer fills the granaries with the newly harvested crops.
Once the land has emerged from its water, it is time to replant in new, fertile soil that is rich in nutrients. The land and its people come to life during hemonto, when numerous flowers bloom including jasmine, water lily, rose, magnolia, marigold, hibiscus and bougainvillea.
Country’s biggest agricultural festival, Nabanna Utshob, is being celebrated across the country. Nabanna is a Bengali word which means ‘new crop’. People celebrate Nabanno Utsab to hail the new crops and harvests.
Nabanna (New Crop) is a Bengali harvest celebration usually celebrated with food, dance and music in Bangladesh. It is a festival of food; many local preparations of Bengali cuisine like pithas are cooked and offered.
In this celebration the villagers welcome their neighbours and guests with chira, murri, Moa-Murki, many kinds of pithas and some other indigenous foods. In this way they celebrate their ‘Nabanna Utshob’ in the late autumn.
The Nabanna is celebrated by various kinds of local cakes and sweets which are all made from the new rice they harvested. Each year, a festival is organized to celebrate the harvesting of Aman which is known as the festival of harvest.
