The second season of the Baarish festival begins with a monsoon-focused programme celebrating the cultural impact of the rainy season. Across the event, attendees experience music and storytelling centered on the sights and sounds commonly associated with monsoon weather. Organisers also use scent to create atmosphere, with a petrichor-inspired fragrance—described as evoking the smell of rain—filling the event space.
A key part of the opening includes a discussion led by Eric Chopra. The session highlights how the monsoon is portrayed in Indian art and literature, linking cultural representations to the season’s sensory imagery. Together, the music, narrative elements, and Chopra’s discussion frame the monsoon as both an environmental phenomenon and a recurring theme in creative works.
The coverage presents the festival as an experiential blend of arts and atmosphere, with the monsoon serving as the unifying theme throughout the opening events of the second season.
