Are you learning Hindi and want to talk about the weather or describe dates more naturally? Knowing how to say the seasons and months in Hindi is a great starting point. In this lesson, you’ll get a clear overview of these important calendar terms — all for free and online.
Hindi, spoken by hundreds of millions, follows a calendar influenced by both Western and traditional Indian systems. While the Gregorian calendar is widely used, especially for official and everyday purposes, Hindi speakers often refer to Indian seasonal terms that reflect the climate cycle.
Seasons of the Year in Hindi
In Hindi, the year is typically divided into six distinct seasons, although only four are commonly referenced in day-to-day conversation. Below is a helpful table that presents the main seasons with their names in Hindi and pronunciation guidance.

Understanding Hindi Calendar Terms
While modern Hindi speakers often use the Western months in casual contexts, the Hindi names are still taught in schools and appear in cultural and religious events. For example, festivals like Holi and Diwali are scheduled according to the traditional Hindu calendar, which uses a different set of months altogether. In this post, however, we focus on the widely understood versions.
Practice and Expand Your Vocabulary
Try practicing the seasons and months aloud, or label a physical calendar with their Hindi names to reinforce learning. Listening to native pronunciation and using these words in full sentences will also boost your confidence.
