This setting is the first thing they see when they wake up on the Vishu day. Therefore, Malayali's spend the day before preparing a setting, usually a tray, of auspicious items. The traditional belief is that one's future is a function of what one experiences, that the new year will be better if one views auspicious joyful things as the first thing on Vishu. The Malayalam word "kani" literally means "that which is seen first", so "Vishukkani" means "that which is seen first on Vishu".
