Actor Mouni Roy shared glimpses of her Poila Baisakh and Vishu celebration with her husband Suraj Nambiar. Taking to Instagram, Mouni posted multiple pictures of her and Suraj in ethnic attire and wrote in Bengali, "Greetings and love for the happy new year." The couple looked bespoke as they twinned in white and gold outfits. The actress also accessorised her hair with a string of mogra flowers and opted for gold jewellery.
Vishu or Poila Baisakh, is a harvest festival and the start of the new year. It is observed by Hindus who celebrate the occasion with much fervour. While Vishu is celebrated by those down south, Poila Baisakh stands for the Bengali New Year. People clean their homes and decorate them to welcome the Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha. The front door is decked with alpona, a painting made with a mixture of rice and flour. People wear new clothes and go to the temple to seek blessings. This day is also marked by various art and cultural performances. Traditional food is prepared at home, and in restaurants.
