#basant

take a look at this Pakistani commentator, who claims that Basant died in India because it became a "quiet ritual". first of all for us, Basant Panchami is first and foremost about the worship of Maa Saraswati. It is done with rituals like drawing alpona/rangoli, decorating everything in flowers and yellow, and of course the puja. It is very dignified. The puja is only one part of the celebrations of the entire week. Panchami is only the fifth day of the worship. We also celebrate it with great pomp. Entire cities come alive in colours and kites are flown. Just look at the audacity of this Pakistani. I want to know what makes them so delusional.

Now take a look at this Indian Muslim who is claiming that Pakistanis have "more refined sense of aesthetic" than Indian Hindus.

Oh really?

This is real Basant

Basant🪁 2026

Lahore, Pakistan.

Government allowed the celebration of Basant which is a kite🪁 flying festival, deeply rooted in desi culture and was heavily celebrated across Punjab(province of Pakistan). Celebration of Basant began and was celebrated for 3 days after facing a ban for 20 years due to safety reasons. During basant we used to face alot of deaths and people got severely injured due to carelessness. People used to fall off of roofs during kite flying, got their necks severed from the thread of the kites. Due to the seriousness of the issues it got banned.
