Happy Vishu 2026:Â Vishu is a significant festival that marks the Malayalam New Year. It is celebrated on the first day of Medam, the opening month of the Malayalam calendar, and is linked to the spring equinox. The festival is mainly observed by Hindus in Kerala, India with great devotion, joy, and grandeur. Vishu symbolises new beginnings, prosperity, and hope for the year ahead.
Across India, different regions celebrate the New Year in their own unique way. In Tamil Nadu, India, it is known as Puthandu, while in West Bengal, India, people celebrate Pohela Boishakh with grand festivities. In Punjab, India, the festival is called Vaisakhi, and in Assam, India, it is celebrated as Bohag Bihu with traditional dance, food, and rituals. Another important observance, Mesha Sankranti, also marks the beginning of the solar New Year.
