Water festival Sangken
Then they splash water on the monks to invoke their blessings for good luck, good health, peace and harmony throughout the year. They also spray water over all the holy objects. This includes the Bodhi tree (the tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment), sal tree (the tree under which the Buddha was born and died), and the holy books.
However, they do not pour water directly on the holy books. They attach a long rope with the books and keep the other end to the reach of the devotees. Then they can splash water on it. It is thus a merit-making occasion.
Praying to Lord Buddha
Devotees earn merit through lighting candles and burning joss sticks before the shrine. Also offering alms to the monastics, the poor, and the diseased. Again, this festival brings in light the artistry and creativity of this tradition that the devotees display in their decoration of the monasteries and houses.
On the third or the final day of the Sangken festival, the devotees (upasak and upasika) take pancha sheel or ashta sheel as per their age and vows. After receiving sheel, they wash hands and feet of the abbot and other monks and offer flowers and gifts to them.
Therefore this Solar festival Sangken is not only new year but a way to treat diseases. Wash out sins if they have any. Tine to take blessings.
