Nang Songkran 2023 💦 Kimita Devi | THAILAND 🇹🇭

THAILAND 🇹🇭 | “Songkran Devi” or "Nang Songkran 2023: Kimita Devi" Presented by "Anna Sueangam-iam" Miss Universe Thailand 2022 💦

✦ This Thai national costume was inspired by the Songkran Lady of 2023 named “Kimita Devi”, who is one of the 7 goddess daughters of King Kabilaprom and a symbol of Songkran festival.
The pattern of the dress was inspired by traditional “Flowing Water” hand-woven fabric of Thai craftsmanship and handicrafts. To enhance modernity, the dress was embellished with embroidery, beads, crystals, sequins and discarded bottles. This dress is complemented by a silver bowl made by Thai skilled craftsmen.

✦ Silver bowls are used to pour water on the hands of elders, splash water during the festival, as well as for everyday use. This showcases the way of life, culture, tradition and local wisdoms that are refined and creative. It also builds careers for locals and communities. Furthermore, it reflects the bliss, love, humility and beauty of the Thai culture passed down from generation to generation.

✦ Songkran origin is associated with the death of the Buddha Kapila Brahma.
Having heard of the cleverness of a boy named Thammabal, the god decided to challenge the boy with a riddle, in which the loser will lose his head. Unfortunately, the boy won and the god had to cut off his head. However, the god’s head would cause disasters if it drops into the ground, ocean, or is thrown into the air.
To avoid bad things, one of the 7 daughters of the god, called Nang Songkran, puts their father’s head on a tray to carry and formed a procession Mount Meru every month when the Sun moves to another zodiac.

✦ Songkran (Thai: เทศกาลสงกรานต์) is the Thai New Year's national holiday.
The word "Songkran" comes from the Sanskrit word saṃkrānti: संक्रान्ति literally "astrological passage", meaning transformation or change. It coincides with the rising of Aries on the astrological chart and with the New Year of many calendars of South and Southeast Asia, in keeping with the Hindu Calendar and Buddhist calendar.
