“Moha Songkran” - is the first day of Khmer New Year and it is known as the day of creation as well.
As
if in a competition, each home does its best to welcome the new god or
angel by providing a table full of diverse fruits, a cake with candles,
incense sticks with flowers, and flashing light chains to ensure that
all family members are protected throughout the year.
At
shrines, people dress in white and light candles and burn incense
sticks to thank the Buddha for his teachings by bowing, kneeling, and
prostrating themselves three times in front of his image.
People
wash their faces with holy water in the morning, their chests at noon,
and their feet before going to bed for good luck.
