Songkran Festival is the traditional Thai New Year which starts on April 13 of every year and lasts for three days. It’ s joyous festival. The Thais make merit by giving alms early in the morning or going to the temple to gibe food and offerings to the monks. After that , they may set free bids, fish and turtles as a way to release their sins.
People usually wash themselves and clean their houses during this festival. This symbolizes the cleansing of the soul. There is also custom of bringing sand into the temple compounds and building small sand castles. The Buddhists believe that taking from the temple is sinful and might cause misfortune. Therefore, bringing sand back to the temple is way to return the sand which they have unintentionally carried away on their feet from the temple in the past.
In the afternoon, people gather at the temple to sprinkle scented water on the sacred (or highly respected) Buddha images and statues. They also visit the elderly to ask for a blessing. The most enjoyable part of this festival is taking part in an exciting water – throwing activity in which people splash or pour scented water on the passers – by to freshen them up and also beat the heat of the summertime.
