Wish you happy Vishu. Hope you all have seen kani at early morning itself. Same I too had a wonderful kani in the morning. So I am very fresh. Ok, then what is vishu kani? Every year in the month of April (middle of the month) we celebrate the festival vishu. The word vishu (വിഷു) is in Malayalam, same way in Tamil Nadu people used to celebrate this same day as Tamil Puthandu (Tamil: தமிழ் புத்தாண்டு, Tamil New year). But the way of celebration is same. Other states of India have been celebrating this day as different names and ways. Do you know how do the people celebrate this day? We know that in the spring season we get everything fresh as vegetables, fruits, flowers and so and so. We wish to get all these wealth throughout the year. So to have a good start of a year we celebrate this vishu.
One day before at night, people arrange different kinds of vegetables and fruits (mostly all kinds), flowers especially Kanikonna (Golden Shower Tree, Malayalam: കണിക്കൊന്ന), different kinds of grains, gold ornaments, coins and lit a lamp in front the idol of lord Krishna and also keep a mirror along with this.
