Basant Utsav(MARCH)

Holi is one of the numerous festivals that are celebrated in India, and its sheer boisterousness coupled with an electrifying atmosphere, the clouds of vibrant colors, and the joyous arrival of spring, make this festival one of the most glorious ones in this country. Even though the festival of colors is known by the name Holi in most parts of India, West Bengal’s Santiniketan celebrates it as the Basanta Utsav or the Dol Utsav. Where we arranged to pay homage to “Rabindranath Tagore” in his memory by celebrating celebrate “Dol Yatra”. We are the ones who are arranging Basant Utsav in Barasat for the last 6 years.

Also, it is said that on this day, Lord Shiva became the Adi Guru – the first Guru and imparted knowledge to the Saptarishis.
