Vishu is a harvest festival of Kerala and is marked by the transit of the sun into Aries. It is celebrated by the Malayali communities worldwide. It usually falls on 14 or 15 April; this year it will fall on 14 April. The word “Vishu” translates to “equal” in Sanskrit, denoting that day when day and night are approximately equal in length. The festival begins with “Vishu kani,” a ritual where families prepare an auspicious arrangement such as rice, fruits, and vegetables and adorn their house with flowers, especially the golden konn flowers, coins, and mirrors. This day is marked by a huge feast balancing the flavors of sweet, sour, and salty together. Vishu is observed as a public holiday in Kerala; schools, colleges, and offices are closed to allow families to come together and celebrate this beautiful harvest festival with pomp and show.
