Raga Megh ("Megh" = cloud). is commonly associated with the monsoon season.
Raga Megh is loved by many people. This raga is heard in the monsoon season when thunderbolts rock the sky and raindrops fall on the ground. Raga Megh is considered a janak raga. Raga Megh and Raga Malhar have very similar ecstatic properties. According to the janak ragas, Raga Dipak came to burn and enflame people during the summer. When the summer season ends and the monsoon season starts, Raga Megh extinguished the flames and fire caused by Raga Dipak. It is truly the raga to extinguish fires of the heart.
Music is to the soul what natural food is to health. It enriches life, endears one to God, enlivens one's spirit, refreshes the mind, exercises the body and mind......No form of music is as enriching as the Indian Classical forms that have a note for every mood of life with as deep a knowledge in theory and practice.

Mechanism of Monsoon.......
Monsoon is a tropical phenomenon. Indian subcontinent, lying northwards of the equator up to the Himalayas and Hindukush, lies primarily in the tropical zone of the Northern Hemisphere. It involves winds blowing from the south-west direction (known as South-West Monsoon) from the Indian Ocean onto the Indian landmass during the months of June through September. These are generally rain-bearing winds, blowing from sea to land, and bring rains to most parts of the subcontinent. They split into two branches, the Arabian Sea Branch and the Bay of Bengal Branch near the southern-most end of the Indian Peninsula. They are eagerly awaited in most parts of India for their agricultural and economic importance.
Subsequently later in the year, around October, these winds reverse direction and start blowing from north-east direction. Given their land to sea flow, from subcontinent onto the Indian Ocean, they have less moisture and bring rain to only limited parts of India like Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. This is known as the North-East Monsoon. However, this rain is responsible for the rice bowls of South India. This mechanism completes the annual Monsoon cycle of the Indian subcontinent.
