Uthsava or Utsava or Utsav is derived from the Sanskrit word, Utsava. Utsava generally means a festival or celebration or any joyous occasion.[1][2] It also carries the meaning of delight, merriment and pleasure.[3] The Sanskrit word Utsava comes from the word "ut" meaning "removal" and "sava" which means "worldly sorrows" or "grief".[4]
