We are celebrating Vishu tomorrow, I am extending my wishes to mylotters too

Hi Sudipta,Thanks for coming first and giving your good wishes. Lol you are interested to know about the food, we are preparing typical south Indian dishes, like sambhar, avial etc. I don't know you can understand if I say the names of curry's in Malayalam. But the main thing is vishukani and vishukaineetam on vishu.
Here is the vishukani for you as you came first, so treat it as a gift from me.
Year? I have to look on the calendar as I am not familiar with Malayalam years (lol)

Wow! I am coming over right now

You are always welcome dear!

Hi Riya,

Thanks for your wishes. I know you are not familiar with festivals in Kerala. Yesterday we had temple visit, here is a south Indian temple (Lord Krishna's, it is also known as Guruvayoor temple (north) and it is just like Guruvayoor temple in Kerala). We waited in the queue for almost 1.30 hours; there was that much rush by malayalees (lol) to seen the Kani prepared in Temple and everyone got kaineettam from temple.

though i have not visited the guruvayoor temple,i have seen the photos and that ceremony where the elephant is bedecked in flowers and all the females in pattu sarees,it is really a beautiful sight!!!

Ladies are in traditional dress like set saree/pattu saree and in north people are looking us with a surprise.

ya,the customs of the north are so very different to that of the south,even i do wear set saree on the traditonal day and all my north indian friends go ooh aah over my saree and they too buy one.

Be proud Riya, our traditional dress is so attractive.

Hi Kukaisiton,

Thanks for your wishes. Many states in India, celebrating New Year in April, but with different names (as we are calling the same as Vishu). Usually we are not celebrating the New Year in January but we do celebrating this particular time and really enjoying.

Hi Cjay,

Thank you so much for your wishes and you are exactly right. I prepared dishes and gathered things for kani. In our native place it is very easy to get things for kani but here it is difficult to get but we are managed to get all those and prepared kani and wake up early in the morning and seen the same. Kids also really enjoyed as they got money as Kaineettam (lol).

Hi dear,

Yes, we had a wonderful day. In our native place people are celebrating more enthusiastically. Now I am staying the capital city so there was not that much enthusiasm but we tried out best to make the day a best. .

P.S. I posted comment on your birthday discussion.

Hi dear,

Thanks for your wishes. Yes I had a holiday (actually it was an official holiday on account of Ambedkar Jayanty). We visited in temple, here is a south Indian temple (Lord Krishna's) We waited in the queue for almost 1.30 hours; there was that much rush by malayalees (lol) to seen the Kani prepared in Temple and everyone got kaineettam from temple. . After reaching home we prepared food and special dishes too.

Hi jakill,

Yes, we had a fantastic day.

This is the main advantage in mylot we can get knowledge about different parts of the world.

Thanks for joining us.

Hi Lia,

Thanks for your wishes. It is a great celebration dear. Actually kids are getting more enthusiastic because it is a custom to give money as kaineettam especially to kids.

Hi cosmopolitan,

Thank you very much for the appreciation. Here we also celebrated vishu. There was much rush in temples (here we have south Indian temples, North Guruvayoor temple and Lord Ayyappa's temple).

Hi dear,

First of all thank you very much for your good wishes, I could not send a personal greetings as I was busy on that day with work and finally I got time to put the discussion. We had an official holiday on account of Ambedkar Jayanty so every year I am getting holiday on Vishu day (luckily).

Here is a south Indian temple (Lord Krishna's, it is also known as Guruvayoor temple (north) and it is just like Guruvayoor temple in Kerala) and we visited there yesterday. We waited in the queue for almost 1.30 hours; there was that much rush by malayalees (lol) to seen the Kani prepared in Temple and everyone got kaineettam from temple. . We got Palpayasam (a sweet dish with milk) from temple and after reaching home prepared other dishes and made calls to both homes (own and in-laws). So the day was good.
