“For Vishu, we purchase clothes, vegetables, fruits and flowers but this year due to limited stocks, we are planning lowkey celebrations. However, we are happy to be with our family,” said Shreeja S, a resident of Nungambakkam. Although temples are closed, a few shrines will perform special poojas inside the temple. “There will be Vishu kani in the temple and special pooja will be performed. But the public is not allowed inside,” said Akhil V, Administrative Assistant, Sree Ayappan Guruvayurappan Temple, Mahalingapuram.
