There are six ritus (also transliterated rutu) or Indian seasons in the Hindu calendar. The following table gives an overview about the partititon of the year in the traditional Indian calendar.

No. R^itu (Rutu) Season Hindu months Gregorian months
1 hemanta pre-winter margashiirSha to pouSha December to February
2 shishira Winter maagha to phaalguna February to April
3 vasanta Spring chaitra to vaishaakha April to June
4 griiShma Summer jyeShTha to aashaaDha June to August
5 varSha Rainy shraavaNa to bhaadrapada August to October
6 sharat Autumn aashviiiyuja to kaartika October to December


It is not spelled Ruthu but unless you're Indian, you probably don't know how to pronounce the sound. It is sort of like the th in smith. ^-^ I know because my name is Ritu and I happened to pass by this page, so don't you dare say I'm wrong!!
