Rabi Crops:

Indian rabi crops or rabi fasal are rural crops that are sown in the winter season in India and harvested in the spring. The term is derived from the Arabic word "spring", which is used in the Indian subcontinent, where it is called a spring crop (otherwise "winter crop"). In Indian farming, Rabi crops include wheat, barley, oats (cereals), gram/chana (pulses), linseed, garlic, cumin, coriander, mustard (oilseeds), etc.
