There’s something beautiful about starting your day with intention. And that’s what Vishukkani is all about.

Even kids, often sleepy-eyed and smiling, feel the magic of this quiet tradition.

🍽️ The Sadhya Feast: A Table Full of Love

Imagine banana leaves laid out, families sitting together, and a feast that tastes like celebration. Vishu Sadhya is more than a meal — it’s a reunion. Every dish carries a memory, every bite brings a story. And whether you're a fan of the tangy mango curry or the comforting payasam, one thing is clear — food really does bring hearts closer.
