vishu songs greetings

Vishu or ‘Vishuvat' means equal and signifies one of the equinoxes, in this case, the spring equinox. At this time
the sun is positioned vertically above a point on the equator and we have equal number of hours of daylight and
darkness.

It's a time when nature appears to absorb the golden sunshine and drench every fruit and flower with shades of gold.

Golden yellow is the colour of spring, summer and of Vishu too.


Vishu, for many, is just a holiday for merrymaking and observing some of the traditions such as arranging and
viewing the kani, which have become more of a ritual. But, once upon a time, Vishu in Kerala was a reaffirmation
of our bond with nature and the land. It was a harvest festival that celebrated the advent of spring.

On this Vishu day, Amrita TV gifts its viewers with a largesse of unforgettable programmes as a harbinger of good fortune
and prosperity all through the coming year.

Mummy and Me , the super hit blockbuster movie starring Suresh Gopi, Kunchacko Boban, Archana Kavi, Urvasi and Mukesh
makes its world premiere at 9.00 am on Vishu morning.

Amrita TV offers a double treat showcasing both the mega stars of Malayalam from 8.30 to 9.30 prime time :
Mammootty opens up to Srinivasan in a confidential heart-to-heart talk in which they discuss the emerging trends
in films, the current state of Malayalam Cinema, the direction in which it is headed etc in Paurushathinte Meda
Vishu at 8.30 pm.
From the heart of the agrarian tranquility of Kuttanad comes Naadan Paattinte Kaineettam at 8.30 am
with a splendid crop of koithu pattu, vanchi pattu and kali pattu that depict the gaiety and festivity of the
simple rustic farmers, at the end of a good harvest season .
