The Songkran Festival
The Songkran Festival is the Thai New Year’s Festival. The Thai New Year’s Day is 13 April every year, but the holiday period includes 14 -15 April as well.
The Songkran celebration is rich with symbolic traditions. Mornings begin with merit-making. Visiting local temples and offering food to the Buddhist monks is commonly practiced. On this specific occasion, performing water pouring on Buddha statues is considered an iconic ritual for this holiday. It represents purification and the washing away one’s sins and bad luck. As a festival of unity, people who have moved away usually home to their loved ones and elders. As a way to show respect, younger people often practice water pouring over the palms of elders’ hands. Paying respect to ancestors is also an important part of Songkran tradition.
