Basanta utsav
literally means the celebration of spring, the beautiful tradition of
celebrating the spring festival in Bengal.
Santiniketan is the
abode of world poet Rabindranath Tagore. It is also about festivals celebrated
in its own way, mingling with the love for nature. That is exactly what Tagore
aspired for, education and development of human minds within the expanse of
nature’s bounty. When Dol or Holi is celebrated across India with great fervor,
Bengal’s Santiniketan celebrates the colours of Spring in its own way. On the same day of “Dol Purnima” spring is welcomed through
music and dance. Teachers and students greet each other with Abir (dry clours)
on this festive day. On the Dol Purnima day in the early morning, the students
dress up in yellow-coloured or pure white clothes and wear garlands of fragrant
flowers. They sing and dance to the accompaniment of musical instruments like
ektara, dubri, veena, etc. The festival gets a large number of national and
international visitors for witnessing a beautiful traditional and cultural event.
