Basant Panchami is one of the most vibrant festivals of India. Basant Panchami, celebrated in the beginning of the spring season, is followed by Holi which falls mostly within a month in February or in early March. Basant Panchami is marked at a time when bright yellow flowers of the ripe mustard plants dominate rural India. Surprisingly several spring flowers are yellow across the world inicluding the daffodils. Marigold or 'genda', 'sheuli' or night jasmine, yellow Hyacinth, yellow lilies and Forsythia shrubs are among the many yellow spring flowers in India. This is the main reason of yellow being the dominant colour of Basant Panchami and as the name suggests 'Basant' refers to the spring season.
