  ‘Basanti Puja is the worship of Goddess Durga in the month of Chaitra in mid April. Basanti Durga Puja in Hindu scriptures mentions the worship of the Goddess Durga in Spring . Vasant or the Spring ushers the harvest crops and people worship and thank the Mother Goddess Durga for her generosity. It is believed that Goddess Durga was mainly worshipped during the spring. It was Lord Rama who invoked the Mother Goddess for her blessings during Ashwin or Autumn to fight the demon king Ravana. This untimely invocation is also known as Akal Bodhon. The autumnal celebrations is the more popular form of Durga Puja which is held between the months of September-October.
