The Sun occults Aldebaran, Rohini, / And many states wilt under Rohini fury/ Heavy rains are lashing Kerala /And She is finding it difficult not to wilt ! / Today May 29 th is the Day/ When Solar Longitude crosses 45 degrees / Called Edava Pathi in Malayalam / And the onset of Kala Varsha ! / We say Kala Varsha begins on 29/5 / It hits Bombay on Jun 10th / And 15th, Delhi ! / What can we say about Indian Culture ? / A Culture with a Meteorological Calendar ?/ Computed accurately by Kerala Mathematicians / Of fame redoubtable / And a Lighthouse to farmers ?
