Vishu, the spring festival in Kerala, is the start of the new year according to the Malayalam calendar. This sacred festival, which falls on April 14 or 15, is a season of prosperity, new beginnings, and cultural traditions.  Families come together to celebrate with the Vishukkani, a grand feast, fireworks, and, most importantly, by adorning themselves in elegant traditional attire & kerala sarees.

The Importance of Vishukkani

The Vishukkani or the "first glimpse on Vishu" is a ritual of sacred belief in which a tray containing shower tree flowers in gold, fruits, vegetables, rice, coins, and gifts is set in the prayer room. Witnessing these things early in the morning is said to usher in prosperity and good luck for the upcoming year. Family seniors also give kaineettam (money) to junior members, which is a symbol of blessings and prosperity. Families come together to celebrate with the Vishukkani, a grand feast, fireworks, and, most importantly, by adorning themselves in elegant traditional attire & kerala sarees.
