Vishu is an important festival of Kerala in India, which is celebrated on the first day of Malayalam month ‘Medam’ (usually on the 14th of April), which is the astronomical new year as per Malayalam calendar.

The most important event in Vishu is the Vishukkani. The Keralites believe that the fortunes for the coming year depend upon the quality of the articles one sees first in the morning of  Vishu day – Called Vishukkani.
