About Khmer New Year

Khmer New Year, is also called as Cambodian New Year. It is generally a three day occasion in Cambodia. In Khmer, it is called 'Chaul Chnam Thmey', which signifies 'enter the new year'. It depends on the customary sun oriented new year, that was seen in parts of India and Asia. The Khmer new year is set apart by the sun entering the indication of Aries the Ram. This specific occasion was customarily firmly identified with the Vernal Equinox. In Cambodia it denotes the finish of the collect before the start of the stormy season.

Khmer New Year is full of tradition and rituals. The three days of festivity each have their own name and related traditions: The first day of the Khmer New Year is called 'Maha Songkran'. Like the Tamil convention, it is trusted this was the day of creation. In Khmer custom, the world was made by God's heavenly attendants and to welcome the holy messengers, people clean their homes and light up them with candles. They put an icon of Buddha on a sacred place. The second day of Khmer New Year is an opportunity to think about the less blessed.

People offer philanthropy by helping poor people, workers and destitute. They may go to religious communities to pay regard to their predecessors, and it likewise a period for relatives to trade blessings. On the third day of New Year festivities Buddhists wash and clean statues of Lord Buddha with scented water. This purifying is done to guarantee that Cambodia will get all the water it needs in the coming year. Another convention is that youngsters wash and bath their folks and grandparents as an end-result of gift and a word of wisdom for what's to come.
