Spring brings with it a sense of rejuvenation and coming back to life after the winter. However, in the vast nation of India, where the climate has only three main seasons (winter, summer, and monsoon), spring is largely based on Vedic astrology and a season on the Hindu calendar rather than a change in weather. Hence, many of the spring festivals in India have religious reasons behind them. Others have agricultural significance.
In accordance with the Hindu calendar, spring in India runs from around mid February to mid April, and is known as Vasant (or Basant). The vernal equinox on March 20 or 21, which marks the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere, occurs midway through Vasant.
These popular spring festivals all provide unique experiences for appreciating Indian culture, including the country's lesser-known tribal culture, and are great reasons to visit India at this time of the year.
