What is Kharif & Rabi?

The two crop seasons the khasra records each year.

Kharif is the monsoon sowing (June-October: paddy, mandua), rabi the winter sowing (October-April: wheat, mustard). The patwari's crop inspection (padtal) records what grew on each plot in each season - evidence of possession that matters in disputes.
