Basanta Utsav ~Bengali Dol Purnima Today 16 March ...mho
 

 

Holi by the name of Basant Utsav or Dol Utsav is celebrated with fervour in the state of West Bengal. The tradition of Vasantotsav, meaning Spring
Festival was started by poet and Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore at
Shantiniketan, the University he founded - Visva-Bharati University

 

What is appreciated is the grace and dignified manner in which Vasant Utsav is celebrated in West Bengal as compared to boisterous Holi
witnessed in most parts of India. Boys and girls joyfully welcome
Spring, the season of hope not just with colours but with songs, dance,
chanting of hymns in the serene ambiance of Bengal. Anybody who got a
chance to witness this elegant way of celebrating Holi in Bengal
remembers it with fond memory for the rest of his life.

 

Here are some pictures of Basanta Utsav being celebrated on the morning of Dol Purnima.
