Basant
बसंत
The ancient raga of spring (vasanta), Purvi-thaat, rising straight to the upper tonic where it blossoms. Traditionally sung at night in season — and at any hour once spring arrives — so like Megh it carries a ritu rather than a prahar.

The raga of spring — its high, flowering uttaranga stirs the kapha that accumulates through late winter, as vasanta itself does.
