Vishukkani ('the first sight on Vishu') is an arrangement of auspicious things — grain, golden cucumber, fruits, gold, coins, a mirror and golden konna flowers before Krishna — seen first thing in the morning, so the year ahead is filled with plenty. Elders then give coins (kaineettam) to the young as a blessing of prosperity.
