In the Songkran legend, which daughter represents Friday?

The story behind the answer

In the Songkran legend, Kimitha represents Friday.

Songkran mythology describes seven daughters of Thao Kabinlaphrom, known collectively as Nang Songkran. Each daughter corresponds to one weekday and is traditionally described with a particular animal, weapon, food, and posture. The daughter connected with the weekday of Songkran’s first day is the figure associated with that year’s observance.

Kimitha is the Friday daughter in the commonly published sequence. The names are part of the ceremonial and literary tradition surrounding Songkran, not a calendar rule used to calculate the festival’s date.

English spellings can differ because Thai names are transliterated in several ways. Kimitha is also sometimes rendered with alternate vowel patterns, so readers may encounter variant forms in regional accounts and festival materials.
