To all my visitors and people of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Bengal and Punjab, I wish them a great New Year. The New Year is based on the Hindu solar calendar. Most other religions like Punjab, Orissa and Manipur also celebrate their New Year on this day. This New Year usually falls on April 14 or 15th of every year. The New Year is a belief that Sun travels from Mesha (Aries) Rasi (Astrology Zodiac) to all the 11 other Zodiacs to complete one year. In general Tamil people throughout the world will celebrate this day as an auspicious day. Going to temple and worship god and decorate house with leaves of neem and mango trees.
Vishu festival of new year for Kerala people, this is an very important day and also called as Harvest festival in few parts of Kerala. They do offerings to god called Vishukkani like rice, linen, betal leaves, yellow flowers konna and some coins made out of bell metal. Lot of special poojas happen in temples like guruvayur and sabarimala.
Pohela Boishakh is the traditional new year for Bengal people. This is celebrated both in Assam, Bengal and in Bangladesh. In this day people wear new cloths and lot of garments were sold with more discounts.
Vaisakhi or Baisakhi is the name of the festival for Punjabi new year.
