VISHU
Normally, Vishu comes on the fourteenth of this month ; this
time it is on the fifteenth. This festival is celebrated only in Keralam. The
significance of the day is that the Sun comes exactly OVER OUR HEAD AT NOON.
This is the occasion when we have fire works at home. After seeing the kani (photo of
Krishna, laburnum flowers or kanikonna as it is called here, half of a coconut,
a piece of gold, vellarika or yellow cucumber etc. are placed and lighted early
morning by a lamp) children enjoy light fire works. In the morning after bath,
the head of the family gives money to all members of the family. This is the
routine on Vishu.
I wish you all happy Vishu !
