One noticeable feature was the blooming of “ Kanikkonna ” ( Botanical name : Cassia Fistula) like a golden shower. It's a wonderful site from our balcony and kitchen- the Kanikkonna in full bloom next street.
The cascading golden yellow bunch of flowers is a symbol of prosperity for the people of Kerala and is usually associated with “ Vishu ” a harvest festival which is also celebrated in other parts of India ( eg - Bihu in Ahom - Assam).
KonnaPoovu ( Poovu - poo – meaning flower) is an indispensable component of Vishukkani – the auspicious Ist sight ( the first thing to see ) on the new year’s day break ( Other components being gold, fresh vegetables, rice, and what ever you consider precious and essential). Luckily I got a few snaps. Vishu normally falls on 14 th of April which normally coincides with this annual flower bloom. Enjoy these wonderful photos !!!
