The most important festival for the Malayalees is the VISHU which is traditionally celebrated as a New Year in the Malayalam Calendar, and the important event in Vishu is the "VISHUKKANI" which literally means "the first thing seen on the day of Vishu after waking up". The Vishukkani consists of a ritual arrangement of auspicious articles like raw rice, fresh lemon, golden cucumber, betel leaves, arecanut, metal mirror, yellow flowers (konnapoo), and a holy text and coins, in a bell metal vessel called uruli in the puja room of the house. A lighted bell metal lamp called nilavilakku is also placed alongside. This is arranged the night before Vishu. On Vishu, the custom is to wake up at dawn and go to the puja room with eyes closed so that the Vishukkani is the first sight in the new season.
On this auspicious occasion on Sunday the 14th April 2013, Sree Ayyappa Sewa Samithi, Dwarka had organized 2 buses to have the Vishukkani Darshan at Uthara Guruvayoorappan temple, Mayur Vihar, Phase I and Sree Ayyappa Temple, R.K.Puram.
