 When the chilly winds of the cold winter give way to gentle warm breezes and the bare branches of trees begin to bear new green leaves, the mind naturally finds a reason for celebration. "Vasant Utsav" is the expression of this joy of the mind and a lovely way to welcome the beautiful spring season.

It was the great Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore who brought "Vasant Utsav" back to its former glory. A lover of the spring season, the poet had introduced the festival in 1925 in the Bishwabharati University in Shantiniketan which he himself had established. This spring festival is celebrated at the same time as the more popular Holi or Dolyatra which commemorates the innocent playing of Lord Krishna with colours with the girls of the cowherd.

 Since its inception, Vasant Utsav has come a long way earning nationwide renown and even turning the Biswabharati campus into a very popular hotspot for international tourists during March. As always, it remains an integral part of the Bengali culture. It is the celebration of nature, colours and youth.

 It was celebrated in our school on 13th February  We had a great fun.
