Chiang Mai Songkran Festival includes a procession of Pra Buddha Sihing, a highly revered Buddha image, around city. People on both sides of the road sprinkle fragrant water on the Buddha image. This ceremony is followed by the sprinkling of water to seek the blessing of the elders, creating sand-pagodas, and watching Lanna cultural performances and folk games. The festival is not complete without water-throwing activities.
