Basanta Utsav At Shantiniektan
Holi or Dol, also known as Basanta Utsav, is a widely observed holiday in West Bengal. The festival of colours honours life's hues and splendour. Basanta Utsav was brought to Shantiniketan by Rabindranath Tagore. Early in the morning, there are dance and music performances to commemorate the event. Colour is used, but in a beautiful way that is aesthetically pleasing—first, they shower you with flowers and plants and then use abir, (a red coloured powder), and then they go on to play with herbal eco-friendly colours.
Visva Bharati students participate in the festivities and help to make it a grand event that attracts visitors from around the globe. The air is filled with the colour of Holi, and they are dressed in bright yellow. The weather in Shantiniketan is nice during these months, with highs of 10°C to 25°C.

When: 14 March onwards. For more information, check the official website of Viswa Bharati University.
