Believe it or not, every event has its sign of advent. Could you ever imagine how we get to know it is dawn? It is “Aarush” (Sanskrit word), the first ray of sun that signs us it is about to dawn. Signs mirror so many things that we know but hardly can notice in the absence of these signs. Akin to other signs, Kash Phool/Kans Grass and Shiuli/Parijat flower during October are the symbolic environmental attributes of the touching down of Maa Durga in the earth with her family (Goddess Lakshmi and Saraswati, and Lord Ganesha and Kartika).
