Update Wat Buddha Samakidham Temple
Buddhist temple in Columbus, Ohio
Monk: Ajahn Sun
is Located in an area of small farms and residential neighborhoods between I-270 and Route 33. The sounds of a busy highway hum in the background of the converted 12-acre farm. Three main buildings make up the temple grounds: a farmhouse, converted equipment hanger and barn. There are currently 3-4 monks in residence at the temple site, but this number fluctuates throughout the year. The grounds are staked out with five-colored dharma (Pali dhamma) flags and sprinkled with colorful statues of Naga or Prays Nak, dragons and tigers, as well as refurbished tires made into flower planters.

Songkran Festival at Wat Buddhasamakidham Columbus, Ohio, USA. By Press Media News in Ohio MikeNPhotographer LAOTVMEDIA Ohio
The Songkran Festival is also known as the water festival. It celebrates water as a ritual of washing away negativity from the year before. Thai and Laos ,Cambodia ,Burma People celebrating Songkran take part in a traditional pouring of water that symbolises washing away back luck and sins from a person's life. Some people add herbs to the ritual water, as well.
As May 30 31 2026 is the hottest month of the year, the celebration of water is relevant on many levels of the festival. However, Songkran is not always celebrated in the same traditional manner. In big cities, the country takes to the streets. Cities like Bangkok see a host of street parties and water fights.
It is a huge party in which thousands of people have water fights with water guns, balloons and any other vessels they can get their hands on. The street is also crowded with vendors selling water guns, toys, food and drinks.
As a national holiday, offices and banks are closed during the three-day period. Many people take this as an opportunity to go visit their families. In addition to traditional water rituals and street parties, there are other key activities that the Thai and Laos people participate in during this week. Many will take this time to attend their temple. Some may also participate in an annual spring cleaning of their homes.
On the second day of Songkran, many families rise early and take part in traditional Buddhist rituals. They give alms to Buddhist monks. They also take part in a ritual that is known as ‘Bathing the Buddha image.’ During this ritual, devout followers will pour water over the statues of Buddha in their home and at their local temple.
