Vasanta rtu is called as the king of the 6 rtus. The reason behind it being the pleasant and cheerful weather in this season. Vasanta appears after the chilling cold of the winters and before the extremely hot weather of Greeshma. The temperature level reaches an optimum level and flowers begin to blossom. It is the season when the dormant buds, trees start blooming on getting sufficient sunlight and warmth to grow. The darkness of night starts reducing and the daytime light span starts increasing gradually. The life on the earth is not in a dormant stage but starts surfacing, growing and blooming once again after dormant period of winters. Branches of the trees start bearing new tender leaves. The blooming flowers on the mountains like Malaya spread their fragrance everywhere through the blowing winds causing happiness and energy in the atmosphere. The weather is clear (unlike smoky and foggy air of winters). Forests are adorned with the blossoming trees like Kinshuka (''Forest flame''). Birds like cuckoo and bees sing and represent happy cheerful life on the earth. <ref>Sushruta Samhita (Sutrasthanam Adhyaya 6 Sutra 25-28)</ref> The nature of spring or vasanta affects humans in such a way that one can feel the energy, affection and love in the air growing.
The advent of Vasant Ritu marks the end of cold winter season. In the northern parts of the country, Vasant Ritu heralds the beginning of outdoor activities like Kite flying and colourful Holi festival. The mid-point of Vasant Ritu is characterised by Vernal Equinox, which is also known as Vasant Sampat or Vasant Vishuva in the Vedic astrology. Equinoxes refers to tilt in the Earth’s axis in a manner that the inclination is neither towards nor away from the Sun. Equinoxes occur twice every year, during the spring and autumn season. Vernal Equinox is observed on the 20th or 21st of March and is characterised by equivalent number of hours during days and nights.

== अग्निदोषादीनां गतिः॥ The status of bio-energies in body in Vasanta ==
The change of weather conditions affect the bio energies of human body. Atmosphere or weather of every season leads to some changes in the levels of Dosha, Dhatu, mala and agni in human body. There is either aggravation, vitiation or pacification of a particular element. Acharya Charaka and Acharya Vagbhata have clearly explained the effect of Vasanta rtu on these body elements. <blockquote>
कफश्चितो हि शिशिरे वसन्तेऽर्कांशुतापितः| हत्वाऽग्निं कुरुते रोगानतस्तं त्वरया जयेत्||१८|| (Asht. Hrud. Su. 3.18)<ref name=":0">Ashtanga Hrudayam (Sutrasthanam Adhyaya 3 Sutra 18)</ref>
वसन्ते निचितः श्लेष्मा दिनकृद्भाभिरीरितः| कायाग्निं बाधते रोगांस्ततः प्रकुरुते बहून्||२२|| (Char. Samh. Su 6.22)<ref name=":1">Charaka Samhita (Sutrasthanam Adhyaya 6 Sutra 22)</ref></blockquote>The major change occurs in the state and strength of Agni. In the previous Shishira rtu, Kapha dosha has accumulated due to excess cold weather. This accumulated Kapha gets aggravated and starts mobilizing from all the parts of the body due to increasing temperature, looking as if it is melting down. This excess kapha then affects the [[Agni in Ayurveda (आयुर्वेदे अग्निः)|agni]] and lowers down its strength. Agni strength is directly proportional to the immunity and inversely proportional to the disease development in one's body. Hence weakness of agni further lays foundation for development of various diseases in Vasanta Rtu if appropriate regime is not followed. Status of all the body elements in Vasanta is described in the table below,
