<div style='text-align:justify;'>The tastes of naturally growing substances differ according to climatic conditions and and seasons. The table represents names and basic characteristics of the common seasonal divisions in India. The sun moves to the north or south, but it always rises in the east and sets in the west. The movement to the north removes a lot of water from the overall environment, but the movement to the south allows water to enter or stay in the plants' surroundings. This is what determines whether plants in an ecosystem have access to fewer or more main elemental (mahabhuta) components. The plant kingdom's domination of one taste is due to their diverse contributions. This discovery regarding the taste of the majority of plants and the related characteristics of five element dominance has led to an understanding of the percentages of elements contributing.</div>
