Captivating vista of red lentil fields in Nepal’s Terai

Light rainfall across parts of Madhesh Province brought rainbows into view over the Terai’s agricultural landscape. The changing sky created a vivid backdrop for red lentil fields in Bara District.
In the frame
Fields, rain and a clearing sky
The scene was observed in Madhuban, Ward 1 of Karaiyamai Rural Municipality. A rainbow appeared behind the cultivated field as the light rain eased.
Red lentils are closely associated with the Terai’s cultivated plains. Viewed after rainfall, the fields reveal subtle changes in texture and colour, while the wide horizon makes shifts in weather especially visible.
