A year (''samvatsara'') is divided into six parts (by seasons). Amongst them, when the Sun is in ''uttarayana'' (northward to the Earth), that part of the year is called ''adana kala'' and includes three ''ritus'' starting from ''shishira'' to ''grishma'' (''shishira, vasanta'' and ''grishma''). When the Sun is in ''dakshinayana'' (southwards of the Earth), the period is called ''visarga kala'' and includes three ''ritus'' starting from ''varsha'' to ''hemanta'' (''varsha, sharad'' and ''hemanta''). This segmentation of the year (by seasons) is for the purpose of ''swasthavritta'' (healthy regimen) in different seasons. [4]
