Mid April marks a special occasion for people across the length and breadth of the country as it signifies the bloom of a new year in several traditions. In Kerala, the occasion is celebrated as Vishu and this marks the first day of the new astronomical year and Medam, which denotes the traditional spring equinox. People of Kerala celebrate the auspicious occasion with people of Tamil Nadu celebrating Tamil Puthandu, Punjabis celebrating Baisakhi, Assamese celebrating Bihu and with the Bengalese who celebrate Poila Boishakh.
Vishu Kani
Vishu Kani is an inseparable, age-old, beautiful custom of Vishu. This is based on the belief that taking a sight of the Kani as the first thing to do in dawn, offers fortune, abundance and prosperity throughout the year. The eldest female in the family wakes up way earlier than others, lights the dhiyas and takes an auspicious look of the Kani. She then wakes up everybody else in the family and makes sure that they do not look at anything else by chance, but Vishu Kani at the first sight.
Vishu Padakkam
Padakkam in Malayalam means ‘Fire Crackers’. Right after Vishu Kani is the Vishu Padakkam which is an important tradition and custom followed during Vishu, where people and children enjoy crackers and fireworks, the previous evening and on the day of Vishu. Sales of fire crackers on the day of Vishu suggested that way more crackers are sold in Kerala on the occasion of Vishu than on the occasion of Deepavali.
