According to Yousaf Salahudin:
India has been trying to copy basant for years but couldn't. The truth is that basant is in the blood of every Lahori. This is one festival where the rich and the poor interact. They do not interact even on Eid. The elite class offers eid prayers at FC College or Aitchison College mosque while the general population goes to other mosques. #Basant is the only festival which the rich and poor celebrate together. This is a festival of the poor.

According to the Punjabi calendar it is held on the fifth day of lunar month of Magha (in late January or early February) marking the start of spring.
During the #spring #festival, kite flying competitions are held across the country and the skies are colored with kites. As people cut-loose an opponents kite, shouts of 'Bo kata' ring through the air. They reclaim the kites, after they have been cut-loose, by running after them.
#Kup, #Patang, #Guda, and #Nakhlaoo are some of the kites used. They vary in balance, weight and speed.
