#Music is a unique universe in itself, and yet, there exists an annual event in India that evokes similar emotions: the monsoon.
🌧️The intricate relationship between music and monsoon is truly timeless. In the fifth century, the dark monsoon clouds inspired Kālidāsa to compose the epic Meghadūta.
The Indian classical musical mode #MalharRaaga is also closely associated with torrential monsoon rains. Even today, monsoon rains induce a strong sense of creativity and passion for artists and music-lovers alike.
People across India celebrate the monsoon, not just on their mobile apps, but with every possible avenue of daily life. And the sound of rains, thunder and lightning is something very few can resist.
In a country where the people and cultures are so deeply intertwined with a season, celebrating this nature’s gift on the silver screen seems obvious. Indian musicians have indeed captured the feel of monsoon in countless memorable ways for nearly a century now.
The monsoon music trend does resonate extremely well with the people across the Indian subcontinent. The demand for rain songs skyrockets across music platforms like Smule during the monsoon.
Bollywood, based out of the monsoon hotspot Mumbai, has never lacked in portraying the beauty of rains and serving the romanticism around monsoons to its devoted audience.
From the iconic Pyaar Hua Ikraar Hua to Rim Jhim Gire Saavan to Ghanan Ghanan, the Hindi film industry has embodied the many moods of monsoon in myriad ways.
