The Vishukkani, a resplendent display of all things prosperous, is the first thing Malayalis wake up to at the crack of dawn on Vishu Day. An idol of Lord Krishna is arranged, surrounded by seasonal fruits and vegetables, traditional utensils and lamps. The kani is strewn with the golden sprinkles of kanikonna flower.
Considerable effort goes into the setting up of Vishukkani. However, now Vishukkani combos and hampers in the market provide an easy alternative. All you need to do is open the box and put together a kani. A number of online platforms have come out with ready-made Vishukkani kits and hampers. From Krishna idols to vaalkannadi (a traditional mirror with a handle), and even manjadikuru (red seeds), these kits include the Vishukkani essentials.
