Regional Celebrations

While Vishu is primarily associated with Kerala, its variations are celebrated with equal enthusiasm in neighboring regions. In the Tulu Nadu region of Karnataka, it is celebrated as 'Bisu Parba'. The customs are remarkably similar, involving an agricultural focus and family gatherings.

Furthermore, the global Malayali diaspora ensures that Vishu is celebrated wherever they reside. From the Gulf countries to the USA and Europe, Malayali associations organize large-scale Vishu Sadya events, cultural programs featuring traditional dances, and community Vishukkani viewings, keeping the heritage alive far from home.
