Mumbai: As Sawan (Shravan) graces the calendar in 2025, nature is in its full glory—verdant, vibrant, and alive with the rhythm of rain. The monsoon showers don’t just bring relief from the summer heat; they’re seen as nature’s divine offering, nurturing the earth and giving new life to soil and flora.
