Basant Panchami heralds the start of spring in several locales. It’s interesting to note that it takes place forty days before Holi, the festival of colours. People dress in yellow, drawing inspiration from the mustard fields that are covered in yellow blossoms at this time of year. This is why the colour yellow is so important.
