Veareak Laeung Sak: Third Day of Khmer New Year
Veareak Laeung Sak, the Khmer name for the third day of New Year celebrations, is dedicated to a cleansing ritual involving Buddha statues and the senior family members.
The ritual employs perfumed water and shares the same symbolism as the use of water throughout the New Year festivities: washing away the misdeeds and words of the past year to pave the way for a brighter new year. This act also represents kindness and care, believed to bring happiness, prosperity, longevity, and joy.
For those who may have taken a brief pause from the water fights and talcum powder sprinkling on the second day, the third day offers a chance to rejoin the fun with those who never stopped.
From the afternoon through to the evening, venturing outdoors on wheels becomes almost impossible without being drenched in water and dusted with what remains of the talcum powder.
