Nostalgic Malayalee expats kept their traditions alive for one more time. On Friday, the Malayalee community across the UAE celebrated Vishu or the Kerala New Year in a spectacular fashion.
The celebrations started with the traditional ritual, Vishukkani – the first morning sight of harvest and wealth – that includes an elaborate arrangement of fruits, vegetables, gold coins and mirror among others.
Smitha Nair, a resident of Abu Dhabi, had made all arrangements before waking up her daughter, Shruti, early in the morning. She led her with eyes closed only to be opened in front of the vishukkani.
