Vishu Kani
Vishu signifies the Sun's transit to Mesha Raasi (first zodiac sign) as per Indian astrological calculations and astronomically represents the vernal equinox in northern hemisphere. The word ‘Vishu’ in Sanskrit means ‘equal’, denoting one of the equinox days.
The most important event in Vishu is the Vishukkani- the first thing seen on the day of Vishu after waking up. People burst crackers and children have a merry time as it is summer vacation time. Both young and old meet elderly people to get vishukkaineettom (token amount given as gift).
