300+ Words Essay on My Favourite Season: Autumn
Nature adorns West Bengal with a garland of six seasons in a cyclic order, and in that cycle of seasons, autumn occupies a unique position. Though there is the traditional break-up of six seasons in West Bengal, only four seasons appear prominently: summer, monsoon, autumn or “fall,” and winter. Autumn is split up into two seasons—early autumn and late autumn. However, it has its own peculiarities and beauties in the world of nature, for which autumn is my favourite season.
Autumn comes after the rainy season and lasts until early November. As soon as the footsteps of autumn are heard, dark clouds disappear, and the deep blue sky is bathed in sunshine. In this season, the temperature goes down. Small patches of white clouds are seen floating across the sky lazily like little fairy boats. In the morning, the dew-drops look like gems on the grass-heads. The cotton-white ‘kash’ flowers raise their heads like flags of peace. It is actually the season of flowers. The yellow-white ‘Shefali’ drops on the ground silently and literally makes the ground a bed of flowers. The lilies and lotuses bloom in ponds and ditches in full glory. The sunshine and shade play ‘hide and seek’ through the clouds. At night, the sky is studded with millions of stars, and sometimes the silver moon is seen shining brightly among them. It seems that the moonlight bathes our familiar world to make it a landscape of a fairy tale or a make-believe world of fantasy.

Even those people who are poverty-stricken are found in a holiday mood. All are dressed in new garments to celebrate the festivity. It is soon followed by Lakshmi Puja, Kali Puja, and ‘Deepavali,’—the festival of lamps.
However, we feel sad when this season passes away to make room for the winter. Thus, this season is regarded as a season of joy coupled with sadness.
