Hinduism, now the third largest world religion, is a collective term applied to the many philosophical and religious traditions native to India.
The word Hindu is derived from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, the Indian River, on the north western part of the Indian sub-continent. The sacred texts of Hinduism are the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita and the epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata. Hindus believe that the Spirit or Soul, the true “Self” of every person called the “atman” is eternal.
Hinduism allows real freedom of choice in worship. It has developed numerous practices meant to help one think of divinity in the midst of everyday life. It is the duty of the elders to mould the young generation to be aware of the essence of Hinduism, its culture and ultimate goal to become a worthy human being in the society.

Vishu is a traditional festival celebrated in Kerala to mark the New Year, typically falling in April. It is a time for new beginnings, and the highlight of the celebration is the "Vishukkani," a ritual where the first sight of the day is an arrangement of auspicious items such as rice, gold, vegetables, and a mirror, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune.
Families also prepare a special feast, and people exchange gifts, especially new clothes, to celebrate the occasion. Fireworks and the famous "Vishu Kaineettam" (giving money to children and loved ones) are integral parts of the celebrations, which reflect hope for a prosperous year ahead.
