The joyous festival of Dol or Holi is an integral part of the Bengali and Indian culture. Dol Utsav which is known as Basanta Utsav in Shantiniketan is celebrated in a different way making it a unique cultural festival which makes it a special. The Holi or the Basanta Utsav at the Shantiniketan make you feel romantic, pleasant, and very special. Owing to its own dignity, the festival lures visitors from all over the world. Participation by the students makes it much more delightful. Rabindranath Tagore started Basant Utsav in the serene and tranquil Shantiniketan, with the ethereal charm of Holi or Dol Utsav to add a new dimension to the festivities. Thus, he came up with an idea to celebrate the festival in the Shantiniketan way with dance, recitation, music and abirs propagating the healthy joyous cultural mixing. Also known as ‘Dol Jatra’ or the ‘Dol Utsav’, the fiesta enjoys the repute as the “Rabindrik Basanta Utsav”. Today “Basanta Utsav” at Shantiniketan is not only a Visva-Bharati University’s programme or a local programme, rather a grand fiesta.
