Vishu Festival 2027 - Complete Kerala New Year Guide
Vishu, the festival of new beginnings, is indeed the most awaited and most celebrated festival of Kerala. People in every nook and cranny of the region welcome the festival with enthusiastic gestures. This wonderful festival is a celebration of agricultural cycles, astrological transitions, and familial bonds. On the core day of the celebratory occasion, the key rituals of the Vishu festival take place: arranging the auspicious Vishukkani, gifting the Vishu Kaineettam, and feasting on the massive Vishu Sadya.
In addition to that, the exchange of heartfelt gifts during Vishu has become a mandatory part of the celebration. Friends, families, and colleagues share with each other Vishu greetings as a gesture of showing love and affection. Also, special and grand feasts with delicious food (that mandatorily includes different varieties of sweets and curries) is a special attraction of the occasion.
Vishu marks the first day of the Malayalam month of Medam. It signifies the sun's transit into the Medam rasi. It is traditionally an astronomical New Year that brings immense joy and hope for a prosperous year ahead.
