Tray of Fruit for greeting new goddess
Morning time at Pagoda but we couldn't capture the monkWelcome back after Khmer New Year. Three days of the 2008 Khmer New Year passed with a lot of memories with my family. Every year we never miss to go to pagoda especially on the first or second day of Khmer New Year’s day as we are Buddhist. I can remember when I was young there were varieties of popular games to play particularly within pagoda’s space. Those include CHOR CHHOUNG, TEANH PRORT, BOAS ANGKONH, and so forth. However, these games are becoming less attractive for some Cambodians. But it does not mean that the games die. Come to the last day of Khmer New Year, people always go to pagoda to wash the Buddhist statue as Cambodians call this activity as SRONG PRAS. It made me recall the last year that my family always did this but we didn’t go to pagoda te. Instead we bath our grandparents as we believe that our grandpa and grandma are the gods in our house. Unluckily, we missed to do it this year as we were all busy and my aunt’s family was on holiday. This is just a brief activity for Khmer culture during Khmer New Year.
