India history and geography
: Project Gutenberg: Castes and Tribes of Southern India, Volume 1Vishu refers to one of the festivals of the Nambutiris. Vishu represents the solar new year鈥檚 day. A very important festival in Malabar. It is the occasion for gifts, chiefly to superiors. The first thing seen by a Nambutiri on this day should be something auspicious. His fate during the year depends on whether the first object seen is auspicious, or the reverse. The Nambutiri people form the socio-spiritual aristocracy of Malabar, and, as the traditional landlords of Parasu Rama鈥檚 land, they are everywhere held in great reverence.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
