"കാലമിനിയുമുരുളും... വിഷു വരും
വര്ഷം വരും... തിരുവോണം വരും
പിന്നെയോരോ തളിരിനും പൂ വരും കായ് വരും..."

I know its been a long time since Vishu has passed
Infact even Onam has just passed.
Was going through my pics on picasa when i saw this one.
Its pitch dark and early morning (very early for me!) and Mom calls me up and holds her fingers over my eyes and guides me to this.
I pray and wish for better luck in the next exams! and zzzzZZZ! I go back to sleep to be awakened back by mom and she speaks something that I cannot make out and asks me did I pray well!
Thats enough of Talk!

Vishu (വിഷു) is a Hindu festival celebrated in the Indian state of Kerala and as Bisu in the Karnatakaregion(Mangalore & Udupi districts), usually in the second week of April in the Gregorian calendar
The most important event in Vishu is the Vishukkani, which literally means "the first thing seen on the day of Vishu after waking up". The Vishukkani consists of a ritual arrangement of auspicious articles intended to signify prosperity, including rice, fruits and vegetables, betelleaves, arecanut, metal mirror, yellow flowers called konna(Cassia fistula), holy texts and coins, usually in the prayer room of the house. This is arranged the night before Vishu and is the first sight seen on Vishu.
May this night wake you up to days of more happiness, peace and prosperity !
Wish you all a very Happy Vishu...
The scene of a "Vishukkani" put up in the Morning of "Vishu", festival of Kerala, South India. .... Did you notice anything....., I saw it only after viewing on my computer....!
We celebrated "Vishu" yesterday (15th April). One of the many interesting things is "Vishukkani" (The first thing you see in the morning) that is set at a sacred place inside the house. The previous day the things you see will be placed before people go to sleep. In the morning an elderly person will get up earliy, well before sunrise, and light up the oil lamps and see it for the first time. Then each member of the family is braught with their eyes closed to see "Vishukkani".
It is believed auspicious to see flowers, fruits, rice, new cloth, gold, silver, money etc Usually with the Idol of Lord Krishna as "Vishukkani".
People give money as present to their younger ones, which the receiver believes auspicious for a whole year. In Northern Kerala, people also burst firecrackers after seeing Vishukkani.
The verbal meaning of Vishu-kani: Kani is the first thing you see in the morning. Vishu stands for the day when Day and Nights are equal. It is also a festival related to farming. The preparations for the next farming season (Monsoon) will begin this day.
