Spring equinox is important in Indian culture also. In Sanskrut (Sanskrit is wrong spelling) spring equinox is called Vasant sampat bindu – bindu means point. In India the year is divided in six seasons, namely Vasant, Grishma, Varsha, Sharad, Hemant and Shishir. Vasant starts from Vasant sampat bindu. After first three seasons we meet the autumnl equinox, in Sanskrut it is called Sharad sampat bindu and marks the beginning of Sharad season.
