Basant or Vasant is a Hindustani classical raga.

Basant denotes the changing of the season and the newness of spring.

This Raag encourages the mind to brush away its selfishness, just like spring-cleaning removes all the cobwebs and creates a fresh start.

Performed in slow tempo, this gentle melody depicts quiet joy.

The descending scale is usually found at the beginning of a composition with the ascending form follows later.
