Monsoon is about playing in the rain, enjoying delicious snacks and basking in the visual treat offered by nature in the form of a rainbow in the sky and greenery all around.

Let us enjoy this monsoon with loads of wacky colors and make our own personalized umbrella designs with the help of some interesting DIY designs.
