Vann og moro fÞrste nyttÄrsdag
Vanntilgang var og er sentral i historie og kultur i Kambodsja. Store, nĂŠringsrike elver og innsjĂž ga vann til flere rishĂžstinger i Ă„ret og store mengder nĂŠringsrik annen flora og fauna.
Og en storby og hovedstad i et imperium ble bygd takket vĂŠre avansert vannkontrollteknologi. Angkor byomrĂ„de var en sïżœïżœkalt hydraulisk by, helt avhengig av at elver, kanaler, bassenger og vollgraver fungerte prikkfritt.
Vann har ogsÄ stor betydning i buddhismen, slik det har i de fleste religioner.
Vannlykke
FÞrste nyttÄrsdag, Moha Sangkranta, innledes tradisjonelt med rituell vask av ansikt i vievann. Til lunsj en rituell vask av bryst. Og til kvelds, fÞr leggetid, vask av fÞtter.
Dette er et lykkerituale for det nye Äret. Tanken er Ä vaske bort alt som gikk feil, var dumt, vondt og uheldig fra Äret som var. Og starte Äret pÄ ny frisk.
Uformell vannfestival
Fra dette kommer det som anses som morsomst for gjester og iallefall de yngre garder i nyttÄrsfeiringen: Sprute vann og symbolsk strÞ hvit talkum pÄ hverandre, og basalt sett alle i nÊrheten.
Vannpistoler og vanngevÊrer selges overalt, inkludert i pop-up gateboder. Ledsaget av spann, trau, og smÄ og store oppbevaringsbokser for vann. Omlading gjÞres fortlÞpende.
Samt beskyttelsesbriller. Ikke bare for Ä kunne se, men det er ikke alltid godt Ä vite hvor vannet kommer fra. Drikkbart er det uansett ikke. Og neppe vievann. Noen sikrer seg med Ä putte pÄ vernemaske, ingen pandeminyhet i det.
Og fra lunsjtider fÞrste nyttÄrsdag er khmer-ungene ute i gatene, veiene og veitene og spruter vann pÄ alt og alle som passerer. Utover ettermiddagen fÞlges de av yngre khmer-voksne og ikke sÄ reint fÄ turister og enkelte gater er full av folk som spruter vann pÄ hverandre og de som mÄtte finne pÄ Ä passere.
Pickup og smÄ lastebiler lastes opp med vanntanker og folk med vannslanger og vanngevÊrer. Og kjÞrer rundt og spruter vann pÄ hverandre og det som mÄtte bevege seg pÄ og i nÊrheten av veien.
Om det nÄ er til fots, eller pÄ 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 Äpning ut mot vei, og sjÞlsagt der det er parker og grÞnne omrÄder er det samlinger av folk som er unge, eller fÞler seg unge til sinns. Og mer vann.
Alle skal bli vÄte
Det er mulig Ä komme seg forholdsvis tÞrr rundt omkring, iallefall om man framstÄr som litt reservert turist, eller kan peke pÄ gode grunner. Som kamerautstyr.
Men det er ikke garantert. FÞrste nyttÄrsdag gÄr folk utendÞrs med klÊr som takler vann og talkum. Og det som ikke tÄler vann eller pulver, tas med i vanntett veske, bag eller etui.
Eller slikt er innelÄst pÄ rommet. Det er ogsÄ stedet Ä vÊre om man ikke orker mer vannsprut. Mat og drikke bÞr vÊre kjÞpt inn pÄ forhÄnd, og det er alltids mulighet for Ä bestille matlevering pÄ dÞra.
Vannsprut og fest fortsetter ut i de smÄ 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 â 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 NyttÄr hele uka til endes
Denne uka feirer Kambodsja Khmer NyttÄr, Choul Chnam Thmey. Dette er det samme som Buddhistisk nyttÄr, og har mange navn. BÄde lokalt, og i regionen. Mest kjent er gjerne Sankran, etter Moha Sankranta, som har rÞtter tilbake til hinduistisk Sankranta-feiring.
Allerede de gamle khmerene
I khmer-riket foregikk denne nyttÄrsfeiringen allerede pÄ 1100-tallet. En inskripsjon i Ta Prohm-tempelet forteller at Kong Jayavarman VII den Store foreskrev at Sankranta var Ä feire Ärlig i hele riket. Ta Prohm er tempelet som ogsÄ kalles "Tomb Raider"-tempelet.
Feiringen faller sammen med nyttÄrsfeiring i store deler av buddhistisk SÞr- og SÞrÞst Asia. Fra Nepal og India til Laos og Thailand. Thailands vannfestival Sonkran er ogsÄ endel av den samme nyttÄrsfeiringstradisjonen, og har rÞtter tilbake til khmer-imperiet Siam vokste ut fra.
NyttÄrsaften
I 2023 faller 1. nyttÄrsdag pÄ 14. april. Festen varer i tre dager, men aktivitetene knyttet til denne feiringen betyr som regel at Kambodsja feirer nyttÄr ei ukes tid, inkludert lÞrdag og sÞndag i hver ende.
Feiringen fÞlger det sideriske solÄret, og faller stort pÄ de samme datoene i hvert Är. Dette gjelder ogsÄ for det tropiske solÄret som brukes i den romersk baserte internasjonale kalenderen. NÄr det justeres for lengdeforskjellen mellom tropisk Är og siderisk Är, og den gregorianske skuddÄrsjusteringen er lagt til, er det snakk om en dato fram og tilbake, Är om annet.
Tidagers nyttÄr
Feiringen starter gjerne med semesteravslutning for de fleste skolene og universitetene uka fÞr nyttÄrsdagene. NyttÄrsaften markeres med vennelag, men den egentlige feiringen starter 1. nyttÄrsdag, Moha Sankranta-dagen.
Moha Sangkranta betyr offer av lys og rÞkelse i templene i takknemlighet for Buddhas lÊre. Det foregÄr en rituell vask av ansikt, bryst og fÞtter morgen, middag og kveld som lykkehandling for det nye Äret.
Andre nyttÄrsdag, Veareak Vanabat, er dagen for Ä hjelpe ressursvake og bidra med gaver og donasjoner. Familliene Êrer sine forgjengere gjennom forbÞnn i templene.
Tredje nyttÄrsdag, Veareak Laeung Sak, er dagen for rituell vask og rengjÞring av buddha-staturer og de eldste i familien med parfymert vann. Symbolismen er Ä la gale, ondskapsfulle eller tÄpelige handlinger bli igjen i Äret som var, og starte pÄ ny frisk. Det er ogsÄ en ydmyk handling som skal gi lykke, helse, rikdom og et godt liv, med velsignelser og gode rÄd fra familiens eldste og deres erfaringer.
Vannfestival
I tillegg til bestemte riter i familien og i tempelet for hver dag i nyttÄrsfeiringen, er dette en sammenhengende periode med familie- og vennesamlinger, mye god mat og drikke, samt aktiviteter som dreier seg om bÄt og vann.
Det inkluderer vanndynking, vannspruting og dryss av talkum. Etter noen pandemi-Är hvor dette ikke var tillatt, er det store foventninger i Är. Det er ventet at salget av alt som kan frakte og avsende vann i store mengder, fra vannpistoler og vanngevÊr til bÞtter og smÄ badekar vil gÄ til himmels.
Langs elvene som gÄr gjennom de fleste byene og landsbyene i landet er det ogsÄ et sabla bÄtliv, fra passasjerbÄter til mindre prammer for krysse eller punte litt rundt.
2023: Starten pÄ noe stort
I ordinÊre Är er Sankran en stor turistattraksjon og en god mulighet til Ä komme nÊr innpÄ de mer uformelle sidene av hverdagslivet til khmerene.
I 2023 er det lagt opp til en gigantisk feiring i de fleste byene. Det er fÞrste store folkefest uten store pandemirestriksjoner, sÄ det er mye Ä ta igjen. Blant markeringene er verdensrekord i origami-papirhjerter rundt Angkor Wat. Totalt 3,917,805 papirhjerter blei godkjent av Guiness Rekordbok.
KaninÄret
Blant andre elementer som ogsĂ„ gjelder, er skifte av Ă„r etter Buddhistisk tradisjon. Dette har nullpunkt etter religionsstifterens antatte dĂždsĂ„r i 544 FVT. Ă
r 2023 etter den europeiske kalenderen er 2567 BE (Buddhist Era). BE-Ă„ret brukes bare i samband med religiĂžse 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 Är. Dyretegnet symboliserer hÄp, utholdenhet, fred og velstand. Veloverveide beslutninger har forrang foran raske og hÞyt risikable handlinger, er budskapet fra denne type dyreassisiasjoner.
Neppe det verste rÄdet Ä fÄ fra pelslangÞrene.
