Vann og moro første nyttårsdag
Vanntilgang var og er sentral i historie og kultur i Kambodsja. Store, næringsrike elver og innsjø ga vann til flere rishøstinger i året og store mengder næringsrik annen flora og fauna.
Og en storby og hovedstad i et imperium ble bygd takket være avansert vannkontrollteknologi. Angkor byområde var en såkalt hydraulisk by, helt avhengig av at elver, kanaler, bassenger og vollgraver fungerte prikkfritt.
Vann har også stor betydning i buddhismen, slik det har i de fleste religioner.
Vannlykke
Første nyttårsdag, Moha Sangkranta, innledes tradisjonelt med rituell vask av ansikt i vievann. Til lunsj en rituell vask av bryst. Og til kvelds, før leggetid, vask av føtter.
Dette er et lykkerituale for det nye året. Tanken er å vaske bort alt som gikk feil, var dumt, vondt og uheldig fra året som var. Og starte året på ny frisk.
Uformell vannfestival
Fra dette kommer det som anses som morsomst for gjester og iallefall de yngre garder i nyttårsfeiringen: Sprute vann og symbolsk strø hvit talkum på hverandre, og basalt sett alle i nærheten.
Vannpistoler og vanngeværer selges overalt, inkludert i pop-up gateboder. Ledsaget av spann, trau, og små og store oppbevaringsbokser for vann. Omlading gjøres fortløpende.
Samt beskyttelsesbriller. Ikke bare for å kunne se, men det er ikke alltid godt å vite hvor vannet kommer fra. Drikkbart er det uansett ikke. Og neppe vievann. Noen sikrer seg med å putte på vernemaske, ingen pandeminyhet i det.
Og fra lunsjtider første nyttårsdag er khmer-ungene ute i gatene, veiene og veitene og spruter vann på alt og alle som passerer. Utover ettermiddagen følges de av yngre khmer-voksne og ikke så reint få turister og enkelte gater er full av folk som spruter vann på hverandre og de som måtte finne på å passere.
Pickup og små lastebiler lastes opp med vanntanker og folk med vannslanger og vanngeværer. Og kjører rundt og spruter vann på hverandre og det som måtte bevege seg på og i nærheten av veien.
Om det nå er til fots, eller på hjul.
Og dette fortsetter utover kvelden, ledsaget av musikk, mat og drikke, sang og dans, og enda mer vann.
Det er generelt en blanding av gatefest og familie-/vennelag i boliger med åpning ut mot vei, og sjølsagt der det er parker og grønne områder er det samlinger av folk som er unge, eller føler seg unge til sinns. Og mer vann.
Alle skal bli våte
Det er mulig å komme seg forholdsvis tørr rundt omkring, iallefall om man framstår som litt reservert turist, eller kan peke på gode grunner. Som kamerautstyr.
Men det er ikke garantert. Første nyttårsdag går folk utendørs med klær som takler vann og talkum. Og det som ikke tåler vann eller pulver, tas med i vanntett veske, bag eller etui.
Eller slikt er innelåst på rommet. Det er også stedet å være om man ikke orker mer vannsprut. Mat og drikke bør være kjøpt inn på forhånd, og det er alltids mulighet for å bestille matlevering på døra.
Vannsprut og fest fortsetter ut i de små timer. Iallefall i byene.

Cambodian New Year's Day, 1992
"Cambodian New Year or Chaul Chnam Thmey in the Khmer language, literally "Enter New Year", is the name of the Cambodian holiday that celebrates the New Year. New Year's Day usually falls on April 13 or 14th, which is the end of the harvesting season, when farmers enjoy the fruits of their labor before the rainy season begins" (Quoted by Getty Images)

Sursedey chnam thmey! April 13th-16th is Cambodian New Year and Franny Sor Robinson is hosting her annual Cambodian New Year party at the Robinon's mansion.
WHAT: Franny Robinson is hosting her annual Cambodian New Year party. There will be ample food both Cambodian fare and general party-pleaser food, a traditional apsara dance performance, and feel free to take advantage of all the cool things in the Robinsons' mansion. Guests are encouraged but not required to wear red or yellow/gold.
WHO: Any and all characters can participate. Franny invited many people personally, but you can come up with any reason for any character to be there -- any of the open Robinson characters could've invited someone, or your character could have (correctly) assumed that it would be easy to crash the party and enjoy free food and the fun things in the mansion. Go wild! Just don't trash the place.
WHERE: Robinsons Mansion in The Woods (Discord)
WHEN: Canonically on April 13th but the event will run from April 10th to April 17th
HOW: As with most events, hop in on Discord if you want your character to participate.

Suosday chnam thmey! [ Fannar is getting the water gun straight to the face. It's not cold, at least, and it's only mildly annoying! ] Happy Buddhist new year! May you have lots of good luck!
[the noise he makes is honestly quite funny, a little yelp of surprise, but then he lapses into laughter while he holds his hands up and turns his face from the spray.] Happy Buddhist new year!! And the same to you — eh, are water guns traditional, or?

[ Sorry Ivan, but Sovannarith is coming up behind you with a bucket of water and dumping it on your head. Well. As best he can, given the height difference. ] Suosday chnam thmey! Happy new year, bong Ivan! Uh. Well. Buddhist new year, I mean. I know yours is earlier. May all of last year's bad luck wash off of you, and may the year of the rabbit bring you great fortune! Would you like a rice cake? I made a bunch!
[ Ivan's plan of hiding a little lingering water retention behind a loose, grey shirt was obliterated. The cotton shirt melted over his chest and biceps, and the newly-shaved sides of his head were covered by wilted hair from his crown. ]
Ooh, fuck! [ Kolya jumped away from the splash only to come running back, lapping at Ivan's feet. ] Wh... Do you have the rice cakes on you or...? [He needed a snack, or else the rest of his mealplan would be fucked for the day.]

Khmer Nyttår hele uka til endes
Denne uka feirer Kambodsja Khmer Nyttår, Choul Chnam Thmey. Dette er det samme som Buddhistisk nyttår, og har mange navn. Både lokalt, og i regionen. Mest kjent er gjerne Sankran, etter Moha Sankranta, som har røtter tilbake til hinduistisk Sankranta-feiring.
Allerede de gamle khmerene
I khmer-riket foregikk denne nyttårsfeiringen allerede på 1100-tallet. En inskripsjon i Ta Prohm-tempelet forteller at Kong Jayavarman VII den Store foreskrev at Sankranta var å feire årlig i hele riket. Ta Prohm er tempelet som også kalles "Tomb Raider"-tempelet.
Feiringen faller sammen med nyttårsfeiring i store deler av buddhistisk Sør- og Sørøst Asia. Fra Nepal og India til Laos og Thailand. Thailands vannfestival Sonkran er også endel av den samme nyttårsfeiringstradisjonen, og har røtter tilbake til khmer-imperiet Siam vokste ut fra.
Nyttårsaften
I 2023 faller 1. nyttårsdag på 14. april. Festen varer i tre dager, men aktivitetene knyttet til denne feiringen betyr som regel at Kambodsja feirer nyttår ei ukes tid, inkludert lørdag og søndag i hver ende.
Feiringen følger det sideriske solåret, og faller stort på de samme datoene i hvert år. Dette gjelder også for det tropiske solåret som brukes i den romersk baserte internasjonale kalenderen. Når det justeres for lengdeforskjellen mellom tropisk år og siderisk år, og den gregorianske skuddårsjusteringen er lagt til, er det snakk om en dato fram og tilbake, år om annet.
Tidagers nyttår
Feiringen starter gjerne med semesteravslutning for de fleste skolene og universitetene uka før nyttårsdagene. Nyttårsaften markeres med vennelag, men den egentlige feiringen starter 1. nyttårsdag, Moha Sankranta-dagen.
Moha Sangkranta betyr offer av lys og røkelse i templene i takknemlighet for Buddhas lære. Det foregår en rituell vask av ansikt, bryst og føtter morgen, middag og kveld som lykkehandling for det nye året.
Andre nyttårsdag, Veareak Vanabat, er dagen for å hjelpe ressursvake og bidra med gaver og donasjoner. Familliene ærer sine forgjengere gjennom forbønn i templene.
Tredje nyttårsdag, Veareak Laeung Sak, er dagen for rituell vask og rengjøring av buddha-staturer og de eldste i familien med parfymert vann. Symbolismen er å la gale, ondskapsfulle eller tåpelige handlinger bli igjen i året som var, og starte på ny frisk. Det er også en ydmyk handling som skal gi lykke, helse, rikdom og et godt liv, med velsignelser og gode råd fra familiens eldste og deres erfaringer.
Vannfestival
I tillegg til bestemte riter i familien og i tempelet for hver dag i nyttårsfeiringen, er dette en sammenhengende periode med familie- og vennesamlinger, mye god mat og drikke, samt aktiviteter som dreier seg om båt og vann.
Det inkluderer vanndynking, vannspruting og dryss av talkum. Etter noen pandemi-år hvor dette ikke var tillatt, er det store foventninger i år. Det er ventet at salget av alt som kan frakte og avsende vann i store mengder, fra vannpistoler og vanngevær til bøtter og små badekar vil gå til himmels.
Langs elvene som går gjennom de fleste byene og landsbyene i landet er det også et sabla båtliv, fra passasjerbåter til mindre prammer for krysse eller punte litt rundt.
2023: Starten på noe stort
I ordinære år er Sankran en stor turistattraksjon og en god mulighet til å komme nær innpå de mer uformelle sidene av hverdagslivet til khmerene.
I 2023 er det lagt opp til en gigantisk feiring i de fleste byene. Det er første store folkefest uten store pandemirestriksjoner, så det er mye å ta igjen. Blant markeringene er verdensrekord i origami-papirhjerter rundt Angkor Wat. Totalt 3,917,805 papirhjerter blei godkjent av Guiness Rekordbok.
Kaninåret
Blant andre elementer som også gjelder, er skifte av år etter Buddhistisk tradisjon. Dette har nullpunkt etter religionsstifterens antatte dødsår i 544 FVT. År 2023 etter den europeiske kalenderen er 2567 BE (Buddhist Era). BE-året brukes bare i samband med religiøse seremonier i Kambodsja, mens det er paralellsystem hos naboene i Thailand.
I tillegg skiftes zodiak-dyr etter kinesisk tradisjon, og tigeren byttes ut med kaninens år. Dyretegnet symboliserer håp, utholdenhet, fred og velstand. Veloverveide beslutninger har forrang foran raske og høyt risikable handlinger, er budskapet fra denne type dyreassisiasjoner.
Neppe det verste rådet å få fra pelslangørene.
