Happy Songkrant day in 2024!

Hi and happy Sonkrant day or Thai traditional new year in 2024. Today, I will tell about Songkrant day or Thai traditional new year, or as known as water festival in Thailand. And I will mention to how different about Holi festival or Color festival in India, let's be enjoy it!

In every year of Songkran festival, in Thai myth that said, "The after Thamabhal Kumara (Thai: ธรรมบาลกุมาร) won Lord Kabilbhrama (Thai: ท้าวกบิลพรหม) by gave an answer his question, Lord Kabilbhrama told to his all 7 of daughters that 'If I did behead myself, you have to carry my head on tray and walk in loop parade on Meru Mountain (Thai: เขาพระสุเมรุ) in 7 times and take my head back to heaven.' When he said, he did behead his head and all 7 daughters do follow his order. They will do it in each of year by angels who are called, "Miss Songkrant (Thai: นางสงกรานต์)", they are daughters of Lord Kabilbhrama and angels of days in week." (You can read full Songkrant's story on this post)

And in the year, Miss Songkrant of year is "Miss Mahothorn Devi (Thai: นางมโหธรเทวี)" She is daughter of Lord Kabilbhrama and she is which one of 7 angels of days, her day is Saturday. Her appear is wearing black spinel bracelet, and water hyacinth on beside her ear. She is holding chakram and trident, her vehicle is peacock. And her favorite food is hog deer.

For someone who confused about Songkrant festival in Thailand and Holi festival in India though Thailand got Songkran festival by Holi in India, but they are different in my opinions here:

Name and story. (You can read about both full stories on Holi post and Songkrant post)

"Holi" which word from name of "Holika" devil, she is younger sister of the demon who name is "Hiranyakashipu". He is her brother, and he is father of "Prahlada" who is his son. But she is dead by burn in bonfire that Hiranyakashipu lied to his son for killed him that it is worship to Lord Vishnu. And also, it is celebrating to love of Krishna and Radha too. But "Songkrant" which word from Sanskrit, it is meaning to "Moving." or "Passing." Thus, it is meaning “Moving of the sun on any one zodiac, it can any sign.” In Thailand, they did use it meaning as “The sun’s date when moving on Aries in only April.”. Songkrant's story said that Thamabhal Kumara who is son of rich family, he is a clever person, and he can speak with animal. One day, Lord Kabilbhrama asks him within 7 days, if he cannot reply to him, he will kill him by behead his head. But if he can reply to him, he will does behead by himself. But Thamabhal Kumara cannot give an answer for 6 days ago, finally, he lays down and heard answer form eagles are talking on top of palm. So, he can reply to Lord Kabilbhrama and he won him, Lord Kabilbhrama orders his daughters and does behead himself. His daughters carry his head with parade in every year.

Time to celebrating.

Songkrant festival has officially dates for celebrating on 13-15 April in every year, but in year, it has declared expand time to celebrating on 12-16 April. Because UNESCO announced that Songkrant festival in lists as Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on 6 December in 2023. For Holi festival, I'm not sure when they will celebrate on date. Because I am usually see celebrating around in March. However, they are both get from Lunar calendar too.

How to do in the festival.

They are both Songkran festival as known as splash water and Holi is splashing color powder by herbs, but Songkrant, many people to do merit with monks in Buddhism Temple, stay with their family, take a bath Budda image by water or scented water in their house or accommodation, and splash water to other for fun. For Holi festival, before celebrating by splashing with color powder, they will do ritual is "Holika Dahan" by performing rituals in front of the bonfire for memorial Holika. It is significant winter is ending and spring is coming.

This is my opinions about Holi festival and Songkrant festival, however, you can find about them by yourself. If you are interesting.

And in the last, I wish to everyone to be happy and enjoying while stay safe too.

See y'all!
