New Year Angel of the Horse Year 2558 BE
Koraka Tevy arrived at 4:48 am in the morning of 14 April – Cambodian time. She is the second daugher of Kabil Moha Prum. People in Cambodia have prepaired and decorated their houses also with special gifts to welcome the new year angel.
What are the offering to welcome the new year angel?
The offerings in command are simple:
- 5 incense sticks, 5 candle (ទៀន៥ធូប៥)
- A pair of decorated young banana tree (ស្លាធម៍កូនចេក១គូ)
- 3 kinds of fruits, each kind prepared into 2 trays
- Small jasmine flower braids to put on every offering
- And the special offering for Koraka Tevy is her favorite food, cooking oil (តេលំ)
Beside those required offerings, you can prepare as many other offerings as you like such as: candy, cokes, biscuits, milk, etc. (Source)

Khmer New Year around the world
The Year of the Snake begins
The Cambodian New Year also marks the beginning of the Year of the Snake, 2568 BE in the Buddhist calendar. The abbreviation BE means “before the Buddhist era”, as 543 BC (before Christ) is the first year of the Buddhist calendar. And with Visak Bochea on May 18 on Buddha’s birthday, the year 2564 BE begins in the Buddhist calendar. All very logical and totally uncomplicated, isn’t it? :-)
Khmer people celebrate their Khmer New Year around the world. Like this lovingly decorated table in Germany. May this Year of the horse will be full with happiness, health, success, love and prosperity for all. Wish all a very Happy Khmer New Year 2025! Enjoy the Khmer New Year celebrations!
