Dehradun woke up to a spectacular dawn on Thursday as golden and peach hues spread across a sky streaked with grey clouds. The distant hills stood silhouetted against the soft morning glow, while the trees below remained wrapped in shadows. But nature had a different script in store. The enchanting dawn soon gave way to rain, turning the morning spectacle into a reminder of Dehradun’s unpredictable weather, where sunshine and showers can be two acts of the same story.
