Vishu is a significant festival celebrated predominantly by the Malayali community in Kerala, Tulu Nadu, and Mahe of India. It marks the beginning of the Malayalam calendar year and falls on the first day of the month of Medam, which usually corresponds to April 14th or 15th in the Gregorian calendar. Vishu is a time of joy, hope, and renewal, and it is celebrated with great enthusiasm and fervor. Make your loved ones' day by sharing Vishu images, quotes, wallpapers, and warm Vishu 2024 wishes and Vishu Ashamsakal greetings in Malayalam to your dear ones.

One of the most important aspects of Vishu is the Vishukkani, which is the first thing seen on the day of Vishu. The Vishukkani is a special arrangement of auspicious items such as rice, fruits, vegetables, betel leaves, areca nuts, gold coins, and a sacred text or idol. It is believed that seeing the Vishukkani first thing in the morning brings prosperity and good fortune for the rest of the year.

Another important tradition associated with Vishu is the Vishukkaineetam, which is the giving of money or gifts to younger members of the family by elders. This symbolizes blessings for prosperity and success in the coming year. People also wear new clothes, visit temples, and offer prayers for a prosperous year ahead.

Families and friends come together to celebrate Vishu, exchange gifts, and enjoy festive meals. Special dishes are prepared for Vishu, including Vishu Kanji, a dish made with rice, coconut milk, and spices, and Vishu Katta, a sweet dish made with rice flour and jaggery. Wishing each other on Vishu is a warm and joyful part of the celebration. People greet each other with the traditional Vishu greeting, "Vishu Ashamsakal," which means "Happy Vishu".
