It's that time of the year! Vishu, the traditional New Year for Malayalis in Kerala and across the globe, is here. This year, the festival is being celebrated on April 15.
Vishu is the traditional New Year festival for Malayalis, celebrated in Kerala and all over the world. It marks the start of a new year in the Malayalam calendar and usually comes in April. The festival is all about new beginnings, hope, and prosperity. It celebrates the sun's journey into the Meda Raasi, which is the first solar month.

The day is packed with special customs. The most important one is the 'Vishu Kani'—the first thing you see in the morning. It's a beautiful arrangement of auspicious items meant to bring good luck for the whole year. Then there's the 'Vishu Sadhya', a massive feast with tons of delicious dishes. And who can forget 'Vishu Kaineettam'? That's when elders give money to the younger ones, a bit like a festive bonus!
