The sizzling summer continues at over 40 degrees Celsius as the girls have fun and prance around. With indigo dyes and colored water, including powdered water not unlike the Songkran festival in Thailand, Desi girl Lamia seems to be determined to make a splash. Thailand’s most celebrated festival is the Songkran Festival. It starts April 13 and lasts between 3 and 10 days, depending on where you are in Thailand. The word Songkran is from the Sanskrit meaning the beginning of a new Solar Year, but nowadays Thailand celebrates the New Year on 31 December.
The Thai people celebrate this festival with water. Everyone gets soaking wet and since it is the hottest season of the year, the custom is quite refreshing. Songkran is a Public Spring Cleaning Day, supported by the religious belief that anything old and useless must be thrown away or it will bring bad luck to the owner.
