How Vishu is kept
Katha
What the eyes open on
The kani is set in the night: the uruli filled with raw rice, the golden konna flowers, a cucumber, a mango, a jackfruit, betel, coins, a mirror, the Krishna ji of the house, and the vilakku lit behind it.
Puja vidhi
5 steps
The method at the day's own hours, every mantra with its meaning.
Samagri
5 things to set out
Every item pictured, a list to tick and send.
