Kerala’s astronomical new year — the Vishukkani first-sight ritual, fireworks at dawn, and the Vishu Kaineetam gift-giving tradition.
Vishu is the Kerala astronomical new year — celebrated when the sun enters Medam (Aries) on April 14. The Vishukkani ritual — viewing auspicious items (gold, flowers, vegetables, a lit lamp and a mirror) as the first sight of the new year — is performed before dawn. Families exchange Vishu Kaineetam (money gifts). Fireworks fill the night sky across Kerala.
