message: Folks, Ugadi is different from Vishu. Ugadi is the start of the Telugu/ Kannada/ Marathi lunar new year, while Vishu is the Mesha Sankranti, the day when the Sun enters the Mesha raasi. It doesn't even fall on the same day. Please modify the piece to reflect this more accurately.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.220.217.115 (talk) 02:44, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

message: How's vishu a Hindu festival? It's not religious at all. Even Onam can be called relgious but not vishu. Even onam is celebrated as a cultural festival.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.81.144.140 (talk) 12:03, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: There is no exact date in the Gregorian calendar that Vishu falls on. The Malayalam calendar and the Gregorian calendar dont coincide with the dates. However, Vishu usually falls during April-May.  thunderboltza.k.a.Deepu_Joseph |TALK 10:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I know. Check out the table of dates of Easter to see what I'm asking for. I think such a table would be a very useful reference (on any wikipage about Hindu holidays). However, if it's always April 14, never mind.  Is it really always April 14 as the article now says ? -- PFHLai 11:02, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I hadn't noticed the edits by User:Girish cs. I've removed the data. It doesn't always fall on April 14th.  About the construction of a table analogous to the one in the Easter page, I think its a good idea. However, its implementation is going to be hard. Let me see if I can find some reliable sources with the info.  thunderboltza.k.a.Deepu_Joseph |TALK 14:03, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you.  Maybe a table is too complicated. I think a section simlar to Arba'een#Arba'een in the Gregorian calendar would be good enough. -- PFHLai 08:28, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  When is Vishu ? 

message: As far as my knowledge goes and as stated in the article, the Malayalam calendar starts with the month of chingam and not medam. As the first day of medam is observed as Vishu, Vishu is not the malayalam new year's day but the marking of spring (This is why flowers and fruits form part of the festivities).--GurufromIndia 18:06, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Vishu use to be Malayalam New Year day, and really a secular holiday in kerala. But at some point around 1980 the official new year day was switched to chingam 1st to make Onam the new year festival, as Onam is more prominent festival and main tourist attraction in Kerala. Even though Onam is really a Hindu festival(due to story of Mahabali is from Hindu mythology, secular side Onam is more a harvest festival), involvement of people from other religions is also more for Onam than Vishu. Hindus in Kerala still do kani ("that which is seen first") on Vishu as Vishukkani, but give no significance for chingam 1st. Now days many old people in Kerala still consider Vishu as new day, especially farmers across all religion, as it mark beginning of farming activities of the year. That will also explain people from city dont give prominence to Vishu.   --Anonymous (--208.15.90.2 (talk) 17:26, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is Vishu the New Year Day?? 

message: It has always been celebrated as the New Year for Malayalee Hindus right from our Ancestor's time.How can anybody else say not? Please do not try to rewrite tradition and culture. Muslims and Christians have never celebrated it. Don't copy hindus, follow your own religion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shibanair (talk • contribs) 22:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
