When is the Spring Festival in Cambodia?

Cambodia takes Sakyamuni's birth date as the epoch, and the annual New Year falls in May of the Buddhist calendar and from April 14 to 16 of the Gregorian calendar. During the New Year, Buddhist five-color flags and white crocodile-shaped flags are hung in the temple. People dressed in festive costumes worship in groups in the temple, and five or seven sand dunes surround the temple under the guidance of elders, wishing Man Cang a good harvest.

Cambodian New Year (Khmer:? ) is one of the three major festivals in Cambodia. It is held from April 13 to June 15 in the Gregorian calendar every year, and it is also a national holiday in Cambodia.

The origin of the Cambodian New Year comes from a legend: It is said that Brahma and a young man made a bet that whoever lost would have his head cut off, and as a result, Brahma lost, but cutting off Brahma's head would bring disaster to the world, so Brahma's daughter put Brahma's head in a cave in the Himalayas to worship, and every year seven daughters took turns to bring it back to heaven, which was the beginning of the Cambodian New Year.
