Songkran Queen 2012
According to legend, this story involves King Kabilaprom and Prince Thammaban.
Born to a wealthy family, Prince Thammaban was very intelligent since he was only seven years old, as King Kabilaprom asked him three questions with the conditions that if his answers were correct, King Kabilaprom was willing to sacrifice his head but if they were wrong, the Prince must do likewise. The questions focus on the good signs of a person at each period of the day from morning to noon until the evening. To the surprise of the King, the Prince answered the questions correctly. As per the good sign of a person in the morning is at the face, at the chest at noon, and at the foot in the evening. The King then had to cut off his head as proposed. However, the Kings head was so powerful that the whole world would be on fire if the head touched the earth, a serious drought would occur and all the oceans water would dry up should it be thrown up in the sky or down in the ocean, respectively. Evidently, the King had assigned his seven angel daughters to take turns carrying his head clockwise around Phra Sumane Mountain. And if Songkran Day (13 April) falls on any day of the following, that year would be honoured by that Nang Songkran.
Sunday: Tungsatevee
Red dress, preferred wild fruit, discus in the right hand, shell in the left hand, garuda as the vehicle.
Monday: Korakatevee
Yellow dress with pearl ornaments, preferred butter oil, dagger in the right hand, walking cane in the left hand, tiger as the vehicle.
Tuesday: Ragsotevee
Light red dress with agate ornaments, preferred blood, trident in the right hand, arrow in the left hand, pig as the vehicle.
Wednesday: Montatevee
Emerald green dress with cats eye ornaments, preferred milk and butter, sharp iron in the right hand and walking cane in the left hand, donkey as the vehicle.
Thursday: Kirineetevee
Greenish yellow dress with emerald ornaments, preferred nuts and sesame seeds, elephant hook in the right hand, gun in the left hand, elephant as the vehicle.
Friday: Kimitatevee
White dress with topaz ornament, preferred banana, dagger in the right hand, Indian vina in the left hand, buffalo as the vehicle.
Saturday: Mahotorntevee
Black dress with onyx ornaments, preferred hog deer, discus in the right hand, trident in the left hand, peacock as the vehicle.
Evidently, the prediction for the New Year will be made according to that particular day of the Nang Songkran. For example, if the preferred food of Miss Songkran is nuts and sesame seeds, it is predicted that the year will be productive, prosperous and healthy. And if the preferred food is blood, the prediction would go for a bloody year with quarrels. And if Miss Songkran prefers to carry a gun, it is predicted that the weather would be full of thunderstorms, etc. Also, at the venue where the grand Songkran Festival is organized, a procession of the Miss Songkran is indispensable for the people to appreciate the festival.
Songkran prediction for 2012 likewise announces :
2012, the Dragon Year, is a leap year which contains one additional year to the usual 365 days. This year, the start of Songkran Day is scheduled on Friday, March 13th at 7:46:12 pm, simultaneous with 8:04:12 pm Thai time. The beginning of the traditional Thai New Year is marked on Sunday, April 15th at 11:43:48 pm. The Songkran Goddess named Kimitha Thewi wears a splendid dress adorned with topaz, with a bracelet attached to the arm and a water lily to the ear. The food is water bananas. Her right hand carries a sword. Her left hand holds a Thai lute. The goddess lies down with the eyes open mounting on a water buffalo as the vehicle. This year starts with Thursday, which is believed to attracts rains, drawing approximately 500 showers of rainfall. The 200 showers of the rain fall in the Sumeru mountain, 150 showers on the Himmavanta Forest, 100 showers on the ocean, and 50 showers on the Earth. This Dragon Year, 3 Naga Kings offer water, making the amount of rainfall massive at the beginning of the year, appropriate at the middle, and sparse at the end of the year.
