The Kerala New Year (Malayalam Calendar) is on the day of vernal equinox, i.e., the day when the sun is considered to move from the southern to the northern hemisphere. The day falls in the first Malayalam month of Medam (Mesham in Sanskrit) and is celebrated as Vishu. The day also coincides with similar new year festivities in several other parts of India like Tamil New Year in Tamil Nadu.
