Songkran
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Songkran an entity of type: TimeInterval
Songkran is a term derived from the Sanskrit word, saṅkrānti (or, more specifically, meṣa saṅkrānti) and used to refer to the traditional New Year celebrated in Bangladesh, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, parts of northeast India, parts of Vietnam and Xishuangbanna, China. It begins when the sun transits the constellation of Aries, the first astrological sign in the Zodiac, as reckoned by sidereal astrology. It is related to the equivalent Hindu calendar-based New Year festivals in most parts of South Asia which are collectively referred to as Mesha Sankranti.

宋干节，傣族称泼水节，是泰语民族和东南亚地区最盛大的传统节日，当日，泰国、老挝、斯里蘭卡、缅甸、柬埔寨等国以及中国云南傣族共同庆祝这个节日。東南亞民族在海外聚居地──香港九龍城、大埔太和寺、西環、深水埗及台灣新北市中和區等──也承襲相關習俗。 整個節慶歷時數日，人們清早起来便沐浴礼佛，之后便开始连续几日的庆祝活动，这期间，大家用纯净的清水相互泼洒，祈求洗去过去一年的不顺，新的一年重新出发。泼水节首二天是去舊，最後一天是迎新。此節日是新舊曆新年及印度灑紅節後，第三個在年初慶祝的節日，乃是農曆新年後最重要的節日。乃是清明一周過後慶祝之節日。
