Its almost a week since the month of Shravan has started...Hindus consider this month as one of the चातुर्मास (four holy months) ...The weather during this time is very cool and pleasant.. There are many festivals that are celebrated during this time .. All this festivals are of great significance and are celebrated all across India.. I personally like this season a lot as I feel in true sense monsoon starts during the month of Shravan..during this period there is greenery allover and everything around appears beautiful and fresh...everthing appears so lively..one can enjoy the nature the most during this time..we get to see nature playing "Hide & Seek"..This is beautifully described by famous marathi poet "बालकवी" in his poem "श्रवण"..
The poem beings as follows..

मंगल तोरण काय बांधले नभोमंडपी कोणी भासे.......
