THAILAND 🇹🇭 | Mahothorn Devi: Songkran Goddess in 2024 💦
โพสท์โดยมโหธรเทวี นางสงกรานต์ ๒๕๖๗ 💦
🟣 SATURDAY: Mahothon Dewi (มโหธรเทวี) Songkran Devi or Songkran Goddess, purple dress with blue sapphire ornaments, put water hyacinth flowers behind ears, rides on the back of the peacock.
She carries a discus in her right hand and a trident in her left hand.
✦ 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, or 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 forms a procession to 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.
