Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Songkran, celebrated annually in Thailand from April 13th to 15th, marks the traditional Thai New Year. While widely known for its vibrant water fights, Songkran holds deeper cultural and religious significance. The word "Songkran" derives from a Sanskrit word meaning "astrological passage", signifying the sun''s movement into a new zodiac position. This transition symbolizes new beginnings and the washing away of past misfortunes.
Traditionally, Songkran involved gentle sprinkling of water, representing cleansing and purification. People would sprinkle water on Buddha statues, elders, and each other as a gesture of respect and good wishes. However, over time, these lighthearted sprinkles have transformed into playful water fights, attracting locals and tourists alike.
Despite the modern twist, Songkran retains its religious core. Many Thais start their day by visiting temples to offer food to monks and pour scented water over Buddha images. Families reunite, strengthening bonds and seeking blessings from elders. Homes are cleaned, debts are settled, and new clothes are worn, symbolizing a fresh start.
While the water fights are undoubtedly a major draw, understanding the deeper meaning of Songkran provides a richer appreciation of this unique festival. It''s a time for renewal, reflection, and strengthening ties with family, community, and spirituality.
