Their father was beheaded, but with the divinity of power, if the head falls to the ground, fire will consume the earth; if thrown into the air, rain will dry; and if thrown into the ocean, water will dry. Each year on Songkran Day, the seven daughters are in charge of carrying Thao Kabil Phrom's head in a parade around Suamne Mountain. By stating that Songkran Day is April 13, which can fall on any day, Nang Songkran of that day must be paraded.
