Angkor Sankranta

The term "Angkor Sankranta" has been recognized by the National Khmer Linguistic Council, in which the term "Sankranta" means the coming of the New Year and this term has been used during the Angkor Era, according to the inscription Ka17.

For Angkor Sankranta 2014, the Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia has organized the activities. The goals are:

- Mobilize youths, residents and the public as one big Khmer family to happily engage and celebrate their own traditional Khmer New Year.

- Provide youths another opportunity to learn and promote their own culture and civilization, hence their sense of national pride.

- Further attract more tourists to visit Siem Reap and the Kingdom of Cambodia.

- In brief, "Angkor Sankranta" is all about unity, solidarity, happiness, harmony, national pride among Cambodians, and the sense of belonging to one Khmer family.
