These days, in many Khmer ethnic communities across southern Ca Mau province, the festive atmosphere of the Sene Dolta celebration is in full swing. For generations, the Sene Dolta festival has been one of the most important traditional events of the Khmer people. Despite the changes of modern life, it continues to be preserved and passed down as a spiritual reminder of filial piety towards parents and gratitude to ancestors.

Khmer ethnic communities are celebrating their traditional New Year Festival – Chol Chnam Thmay – at home this year from April 13-16 instead of visiting pagodas as part of the national effort to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.
