Nature flushed with the golden yellow Kanikonna flowers (Golden Shower Tree or Cassia Fistula or Indian Laburnum) has already announced the arrival of Vishu in Kerala. It is the festival that heralds the beginning of Malayalee New Year as well as signifies the festival of harvest in\u00a0<a>Kerala<\/a>. It is the time nature blesses the thirsty land with refreshing summer showers and during which the land witnesses the beginning of many\u00a0agricultural ventures. Hence, Vishu gives new hope in the agricultural prosperity of the land in the year to come. It also reminds us of the fact that it is impossible for humans to exist in this world without nature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From the auspicious <strong>Vishu Kani ritual,\u00a0Vishu Kaineetam,\u00a0Vishu Kodi,\u00a0Vishu Kali,<\/strong> to the authentic\u00a0Vishu Sadya, Keralites celebrate Vishu with great fervor. Every mall, shops, and streets in Kerala have already worn a festive mode, beautifully decorated with\u00a0Kanikonna flowers\u00a0and Vishu greetings to welcome the prosperous Vishu Festival. The celebrations of Vishu Festival is not only limited within the boundary of the\u00a0<a target=\"\" rel=\"\" aria-label=\"\">state of Kerala<\/a>, but the joyful and exuberant celebrations of Vishu can be witnessed all across the globe, wherever <strong>Malayalees<\/strong> are.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Science of Vishu<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The word \u2018Vishu\u2018 literally means \u2018equal\u2018 in the Sanskrit language. As a festival that brings with it a hope of abundance Vishu has more scientific significance than just religious. That is, it symbolizes equal duration of day and night. It\u2019s that time of the year where the farmers begin the plowing of land and other agricultural activities. It also indicates the entry of sun from\u00a0Meenam Rashi\u00a0to\u00a0Medam Rashi, which is also the time of spring equinox during this span of the year. Keralites celebrate Vishu every year on the\u00a0first day of the Malayalam month of Medam that usually falls on the month of April. <img class=\"\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vishu is fully dedicated to Lord Krishna who is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The golden shower flower,\u00a0Kanikonna\u00a0that marks the Vishu season is so special for the Hindus as it is regarded as the ornament of\u00a0Lord Krishna\u00a0that was worn around his waist. And the Kanikonna flower is one of the most essential items of the Vishu Kani.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Legend Behind Kanikonna Flower and Vishu Festival:<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is an interesting legend behind the origin of the <strong>Kanikonna flower<\/strong> and how it became so special. Long ago, there was a small Sree Krishna Temple in a tiny village in Kerala. The daily poojas of the temple were carried out by a Priest (Poojari). One day, the Priest locked the temple and went home after the evening pooja without realizing that a child was trapped inside the temple. On hearing the loud cry of the child, Lord Krishna appeared before him in the form of a child and gave the golden chain that was worn around his waist for the child to play with in order to stop him crying. The next day, when the priest came and opened the temple, he found that the waist chain of the idol of <strong>Sree Krishna<\/strong> was missing. And very soon the news spread around, and a lot of people gathered at the temple and they began searching for the ornament of the Lord. After some time, they found the child playing with the golden chain of the idol. The child was so terrified seeing the crowd approaching him and he suddenly threw away the chain which got stuck on a tree and at once it bloomed with golden yellow flowers. And these beautiful flowers are known as\u00a0Vishu Kani Konna or <strong>Golden Shower Tree.<\/strong> It is also known as\u00a0Indian laburnum and Cassia Laburnum.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are also several myths regarding the <strong>Vishu Festival.<\/strong> It is believed that it is the day in which Lord Krishna beheaded <strong>Narakasura<\/strong>, the demon. As per another myth, the return of Surya Deva is celebrated as Vishu. People also believe that Vishu is celebrated as the Victorious day in which Rama who is the seventh incarnation of <strong>Lord Vishnu<\/strong>, killed Ravana, the demon king of Lanka who has ten heads and ten sets of arms. Ravana was so cruel that he never allowed the Sun God, Surya Dev to rise from the East. And it is said that Surya Dev (Sun) started to rise from the East soon after the death of Ravana and that day was recognized as the Vishu day. Hence Vishu is appraised as the celebration of victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vishu Kani:<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Viewing the Vishu Kani is the most auspicious ritual of Vishu Festival. Vishu Kani means that \u201cwhich you see first on the Vishu day\u201d. Keralites strongly believe that their good fortune in the year to come depends on what they see when they first open their eyes on Vishu morning. <strong>Vishu Kani<\/strong> is actually the arrangements of several auspicious items like rice grain, Kanikonna flowers, betel leaves, coconut, golden cucumber, jackfruit, tender mangoes, golden lemon, metal mirror which is known as Vaalkannadi, gold, coins, currency notes, oil lamp (<strong>Nilavilaku<\/strong>), Holy books of Hindus like Ramayana or Bhagavad-Gita, etc. on a large circular vessel known as \u2018Uruli\u2018 that is made of five metals and are placed in front of the idol of Lord Krishna which is kept inside the Puja room.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The eldest female member of the family, especially grandmother or mother, prepares the\u00a0Vishu Kani\u00a0on the night before the Vishu day. And she has to wake up on the auspicious hour of\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Brahma Muhurta<\/strong>\u00a0that is around 4 Am to 6 AM and light the oil lamp kept together with the Vishu Kani to get the glorious sight of Lord Krishna. She will then go and wake up the other members of the family and lead them to the Puja room, one by one, covering their eyes. On reaching the Puja room, she removes her palm for them to get the delightful sight of Lord Krishna along with the Vishu Kani. And there you will feel a divine ambience where the idol of Lord Krishna glows with sparkling light of the lamps and it is one of the most divine sight you will ever experience in your life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The dawn of Vishu day is known as\u00a0Vishu Pulari. Seeing Vishu Kani on the Vishu Pulari is regarded as highly auspicious. After viewing the Vishu Kani, they read verses from Ramayana or Bhagwat-Gita which is considered as sacred. Temples like the world famous Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple, <a target=\"\" rel=\"\" aria-label=\"\">Guruvayoor Sree Krishna Temple<\/a> and Kulathupuzha Sree Bala Shasta Temple also arrange Vishu Kani for the devotees to get a glimpse of their beloved deity on the very first day of the New Year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vishu Kodi and Vishu Kaineetam:<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Being the festival of\u00a0Kaineetam\u00a0and colourful fireworks, Vishu undoubtedly occupies a special place in the hearts of the Children. Every member of the family gets a new dress during Vishu, known as\u00a0Vishu Kodi\u00a0to begin the new year, wearing new clothes. Keralites often wear traditional wears like\u00a0mundu\u00a0for men and\u00a0<strong>Kasavu Saree<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Set Mundu\u00a0for women during Vishu. Even children also wear traditional clothes during the festival. Keralites looks extremely beautiful in their traditional attires. Another interesting part of the Vishu celebration is the Vishu Kaineetam in which the elder people of the family give money to the younger ones as an act of blessing them with wealth and prosperity for the coming year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Other Highlight:\u00a0Vishu Sadya and Vishu Special Dishes:<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As Vishu is the festival of victory,\u00a0 Keralites celebrates it by bursting firecrackers and is known as\u00a0Vishu Padakkam. It is an integral part of Vishu celebration and everyone, irrespective of age, from young to old enjoys it.

And the\u00a0Palpayasam\u00a0served at the end is so delicious as well as very satisfying after the grand feast. The main speciality of <strong>Vishu Sadya<\/strong> is that the dishes that are served contains an equal proportion of sweet, salty, sour and bitter flavors.\u00a0 And it signifies that in the year ahead one must expect all flavors of experiences, be it good or bad.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Pineapple Pachadi or Moru<\/strong> curry with rice, a popular authentic Kerala recipe made of buttermilk and coconut.
