Thanks for the invite, Magee. Vishu falls on a weekday. I'm probably celebrating over the weekend when DH is around. I'll post pictures.
The Odia new year, also known as Panaa Sankranti or Mahavishuwa Sankranti falls around the same time. This year it is on 14th April. Can you plz mention it so that I can add the Odia delicacies that are prepared on this day.
Thank you for the tag. I celebrate chitirai 1 as well as Vishu.... Vishu ashamsakal....( Happy Vishu)
