In the Songkran legend, Kirini is the daughter associated with Thursday.
The traditional story features seven daughters of Thao Kabinlaphrom, with one daughter linked to each day of the week. Their names and attributes help determine which Nang Songkran appears when the solar New Year begins on a particular weekday.
Kirini is commonly listed as the Thursday daughter. She is associated with an elephant, while the other daughters have different animals and names. These details belong to the mythological side of Songkran rather than the modern water festival.
The daughter names are often confused because transliterations vary between English sources. Kirini may appear with slightly different spellings, but Kirini is the standard form used in many English references.
