2012 Khmer New Year Thevada:

Preah Neang Kemerea Tevi (កិមិរាទេវី) will usher in the New Year on Friday April 13, 2012 at 7:11pm (GMT+7:00). She is the the sixth of seven daughters of Maha Brahma. An angel riding a dragon, at the front of the procession guides the way. Kemerea will ride on a buffalo and come to earth with a sword in her right hand and on her left a zither, a stringed musical instrument. She wears clothes in the color of white with topaz ornaments. A violet flower similar to that of a lotus flower is tucked behind her ear and bananas is what she prefers as offering.

The Heart of Cambodia by ~Piero1980

“The country is beautiful but has a very sad, violent past which is rooted in the heartbeat of the country. I wanted to include elements of that past in the piece but still keeping the focus on the man made and natural beauty the country has to offer.”
