Celebrated in Kerala
It
is one of the most prominent Hindu festivals in Kerala. Vishu is
celebrated in the first day of the Malayalese month Medam
(corresponds to the month of April/ May as per Gregorian Calendar).
On this day, wealthy families distribute coins called
"Vishukaineetam" among the destitutes. Cladded in new
clothes, people celebrate the auspicious day by bursting firecrackers
and enjoying an elaborate lunch "sadya" with family and
relatives.
