Khmer New Year marks the end of the harvest before the beginning of the rainy season. Like most Cambodian celebration; the New Year festival is full of tradition and rituals.

The first day of Khmer New Year is called โ€œMaha Sankrantaโ€. It can simply be described as an inauguration of New Year. In Khmer tradition, the world is believed to be created by God and taken care of by his Devas. On the day, family members work hard on cleaning and decorating the house and help arranging foods and drinks on a table as to welcome the new Devi. Buddhist followers may also prepare food and fruits to be offered to the monks for blessings.

Day 2 โ€œ๐—ฉ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ธ ๐—ฉ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐˜โ€
The second day of the celebration is called โ€œVirak Vanabatโ€. It signifies a day of offering gifts to the elders includes parents and grandparents. Most Cambodian offer charity by donating food, money or clothes to the less fortunate. In the evening, the young and elder would go to religious temples to perform the ceremony of erecting sandy mounds on the temple ground. The ritual is believed to bring Cambodian people longevity and prosperity in life.

Day 3 โ€œ๐—ฉ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ธ ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—ธโ€
The third day or the final day of new year celebration is called "Vearak Leung Sak". It is the day when the year of 2020, for example, would change and begin to be 2021 customarily, to complete the New Year festival; Cambodians need to perform the last ceremony called "Pithi Srang Preah". The ritual is done by washing and cleaning the statues of Lord Buddha with scented water. This is meant to symbolize the washing away of evil deeds and gaining blessings.
This tradition can refer to Hinduism of Angkor period, to which the goddess ganga (Mekong) is to wash the sins and evil karma of peoples.
The incense was also intended to cover the Shiva linga.
The elders whom you respect such as parents and grandparents can also be washed the same way as to apologize them for past mistakes and to gratify them.
