Basant utsav commences with 'hawan' at Bhojshala Temple in MP's Dhar
Basant utsav began with 'hawan' and 'pooja' in Madhya Pradesh's Dhar district on February 16.
Devotees performed 'hawan' on the occasion of 'Basant Panchami' at Bhojshala Temple.
Devotees worship Goddess Saraswati today and serve 'bhog' (food offerings) to the Almighty.
Basant Panchami, also known as 'Vasant Panchami', marks the arrival of the spring season in India.
Bhojshala is a temple of Goddess Saraswati and the monument retains slabs inscribed with Sanskrit and Prakrit literary works.
Associated with yellow colour, the festival of Basant Panchami also marks the start of preparation for 'Holika' and 'Holi', which occurs nearly 40 days later.
The annual Kanwar Yatra, a Hindu pilgrimage dedicated to Lord Shiva, begins as millions of devotees embark on a sacred journey across central India. Kanwariyas, as the pilgrims are known, travel on foot to collect holy water from the Ganges River, carrying it back to local Shiva temples. This month-long event, concentrated in states like Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Uttar Pradesh, sees devotees seeking blessings for health, prosperity, and spiritual purification through their arduous trek and ritualistic offerings.

Recent bypolls across seven Indian states resulted in significant gains for the opposition INDIA bloc, which won 10 out of 13 assembly seats. The Congress party secured victories in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, while the Trinamool Congress swept all four seats in West Bengal. The BJP won two seats, including one in Madhya Pradesh. These results are seen as a boost for the opposition and may indicate shifting political dynamics ahead of future elections.

A tragic stampede occurred at a spiritual gathering in Hathras, organized by Sakar Vishwa Hari Bhole Baba. The incident happened as crowds were leaving, resulting in about 90 deaths. Bhole Baba, formerly Suraj Pal, quit his job 17 years ago to become a spiritual leader. He has millions of followers, mainly from Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh. The group maintains distance from media and manages events independently. Baba's whereabouts are unknown since the incident.
