Meaning, etymology & significance
Basantika (वासन्तिका) is the Bengali transliteration of Vasantika — the diminutive feminine of vasanta (spring). The literal sense is "the little spring blossom" or "of spring."
In Hindu calendar tradition vasanta is the first season of the year and the most auspicious — the time of the great Vasanta Panchami festival honouring Saraswati, the time when crops emerge, when flowers bloom. A daughter named Basantika is therefore named with this entire spring-tradition.
The variant Vasanti is the more common Sanskrit form; Basantika is the Bengali-Odia transliteration.
Pronunciation: ba-san-TI-kaa. Pair with Bengali surnames.
Astrology — nakshatra & rashi
