Dublin: This year's Vishu celebration of Satgamaya Satsangh, Ireland's first Malayali Hindu community, will be held on Saturday, April 15. The event will be held at the VHCCI Hall in Dublin from 10.00 Am to 2.00 Pm.
In the unique way of Kerala, making a "Vishukkani" in Oturuli, seeing "Unnikkanan", Lord Baby Krishna and receiving money from the elders to is paving the way to prosperity. The tradition of buying of new clothes for the occasion of Vishu is called Puthukodi or Vishukodi. There is also a popular tradition of elders giving money to younger ones or dependents of the family. This is called Vishukkaineetam. Another tradition is of giving alms and contributing to community charity.
Satgamaya will organize this year's events to cherish those memories of the past, which are going away in the diaspora. Those who want to present children's art programs related to Vishu and want to join Satgamaya can contact us through the whatsapp link given below.
