Vishu, the Planting Season of Kerala



We have said that Vishu or the Sun’s entry into the zero degree of sidereal Aries, is the time for the farmers to sow.

Vishu or the solar ingress into Aries, is celebrated all over Kerala. This is the dawn of a good era, as it marks the end of the hot seasons of Kumbha ( Aquarius ) and Meena ( Pisces ). Temperature touching 43 degrees is disconcerting. Vishu is the heralder of the two monsoons, the Kala Varsha and the Thula Varsha.

Hail, Vishu, O Changer of Seasons !
Thou bringest news auspicious,
And relief from the blistering heat,
As the Sidereal Spring equinox.
