Did you know?
- The word വിഷു comes from the Sanskrit word for 'equinox', marking the time when day and night are of equal length.
- While you say വിഷു ആശംസകൾ to wish someone well, the festival itself is often celebrated by looking at the വിഷുക്കണി, a beautiful arrangement of flowers, fruits and gold that is the first thing people see upon waking.
