Hey Everyone here is another blog on the significance of Vishu Festival .
Vishu is observed by Malayali Hindus or Kerala Hindus or Tuluvas in the Indian States of Kerala , Tamil Nadu , Karnataka , Mahe district of Union territory of Pondicherry , neighboring areas of Tamil Nadu and their communities .
The festival of Vishu marks the first day of Medam which is the ninth month of the solar calendar , this calendar is followed in Kerala and Vishu marks the spring equinox or marks beginning of spring and celebrates an abundant harvest .
* Story behind Vishu Festival :
Several tales are related to the celebration of Vishu as per one of the tales it is the day when Lord Krishna killed Narakasura a demon . As per another belief Vishu is celebrated as the return of Surya Dev , according to other folks Ravana the demon king never allowed the Sun God to rise from the east .
It was on the day of Vishu , after the death of King Ravana , the sun or Surya Dev started rising from the east since then Vishu is celebrated with great zeal .
I wish all of you prosperity , happiness , good health and wealth this year at the auspicious day of Vishu !!!!
Stay safe and be indoors !!!
