Vishu Sadya Recipes From Kerala – Vishu falls on Monday, 15th April 2019. Also well known as Malayalam New year, it is a Hindu festival celebrated to start the Malayalam calendar year.

Vishu means “Equal”. It is on this day, we make colourful meals and arrange fruits, jewels, money and every fruit and vegetable in a colourful way in front of the mirror/”valkannadi“. Some people just keep Lord Krishna and arrange everything around the statue. It is a custom that the senior most lady in the house arranges everything after everyone else goes to sleep. She makes sure all the fruits, vegetables, flowers, jewels etc are seen at a single shot through the mirror. This ceremony is known as “Vishukkani Kazhcha”

Then at very early morning around 3-6 am. She/elderly person wakes up each family member one at a time and brings them eyes closed to the place where all things are arranged. It is believed that the first sight you see for the year brings in luck throughout the year. Then they open up eyes to see the area fully arranged with everything so nice, beautiful and rich. Most importantly, everybody gets blessings from their elders by falling on their feet in return they are gifted with money which we call it as “Vishu kaineetam“.
