Sun Apr 13 04:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Kerala’s Vishu Festival: A Look at the ‘Vishufalam’ Predictions for 2025
**Thiruvananthapuram, April 12, 2025** – Kerala is gearing up for Vishu, the harvest festival celebrated with traditional customs and rituals. A key aspect of Vishu is the “Vishufalam,” an astrological prediction for the coming year. This year’s Vishu Sankramana (the astrological new year) occurs on April 14th at 3:21 AM IST.
According to astrological calculations, 2025 is a “two-para” year. The “para” system, a calculation based on astrological principles, indicates the nature of the year’s rainfall. Years with “one” or “three paras” are considered favorable, while “two” or “four paras” years are less so. A “two-para” year, like this one, is predicted to have erratic rainfall, with potential for both insufficient rain and unexpected downpours. Farmers are advised to exercise caution in their agricultural planning.
The Vishufalam aims to predict the beneficial and adverse effects of the year’s natural occurrences. This year’s prediction highlights the importance of preparedness for unpredictable weather patterns.
