Vishu is the Kerala New Year festival, celebrated in April, and holds great significance in Munnar. The day begins with Vishukkani, an arrangement of auspicious items viewed early in the morning to bring good luck for the year. People wear new clothes, exchange gifts (Vishukkaineettam), and enjoy traditional meals. In Munnar, plantation workers and local families celebrate Vishu with prayers at temples and homes, welcoming a new beginning with hope and positivity.
