Vishnukani & Vishukaineetam are two important rituals performed during Vishu festival. Vishu is an important Hindu festival celebrated in Kerala and in Mangalore and Udupi districts of Karnataka, India.
On the Vishu day, the eldest female member of family wakes up and lights the lamp and watches Vishukani first. Then she wakes up the other members one by one and tells not to open the eyes and takes them to the puja room and shows them the auspicious Vishukani.
After all the members have completed Kani Kanal, it is time for Vishukaineetam or Vishu Kaineetam. The eldest member of the family starts giving Vishukaineetam to every younger family member. Vishukaineetam is the ritual of given silver coins (in olden days) or money to other members of the family and wishing them that the coming years will be blessed with prosperity and success. In some places, especially in the northern parts of Kerala, children begin to fire crackers on Vishu.
Almost all Kerala temples also prepare Vishu Kani in the temples. Devotees also visit the nearby temples to have this "Vishukani Kazhcha". Thousands of devotees throng to famous temples in Kerala like Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple and Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple for the auspicious Vishu Kani Kazhcha on Vishu.
The date of Vishukani 2019 is on April 15, Monday.
