The day begins with a family tradition of looking at Vishukkani, a colourful tray of auspicious items made by the entire family. Vishu is welcomed by the golden petals of kani konna. People see money or silver things, cloth (pattu), mirrors, rice, coconut, cucumber, fruits, and other harvest products to commemorate the day. Children light fireworks, new clothes are donned, and money is handed to the younger members of the family by the elders. The family settles down in the afternoon to enjoy Sadhya.
