Basant

Basant de rut di bahut bahut vadhaiyan ji.  Here, Bhai Shamsher Singh Zakhmi presents a Guldasta which includes Raag Basant Poorvi, Basant Bahar, Basant Hindol, Malkauns and Bageshri. 


You might wonder what a Guldasta is??

A Guldasta when translated to English refers to a Boquet, in this context, it's a bouquet of Raags. A Guldasta usually begins with the Raag in which the Shabad has been composed. Then, it transitions into different Raags within the same Shabad. Usually, more than three Raags are sung in a Guldatsa.

Hola Mohalla or Hola Mahalla or simply Hola is a Sikh festival that takes place on the first of the lunar month of Chet which usually falls in March. This, by a tradition established by Guru Gobind Singh, follows the Hindu festival of Holi by one day; Hola is the masculine form of the feminine sounding Holi.

Together the words "Hola Mohalla" stands for "mock fight". During this festival, processions are organised in the form of army type columns accompanied by war-drums and standard-bearers and proceeding to a given spot or moving in state from one gurdwara to another. The custom originated in the time of Guru Gobind Singh who held the first such mock fight event at Anandpur in February 1701.
