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.
