While New Year is celebrated in most parts of India on April 14 like Baisakhi, Bihu and Puthandu; in Kerala, the first day of the month of Medam of the Malayalam calendar is celebrated as Vishu. It will be observed on April 15 and in West Bengal, it will be celebrated as Poila Baishak.
During Vishu, Malayalis celebrate the day by relishing Sadhya – a platter of traditional dishes made at home. People wear new clothes and give gifts to their loved ones.
