The day is a period when numerous Cambodians offer their regards to expired relatives of up to 7 generations. Monks serenade the suttas in Pali dialect overnight (persistently, without resting) in prelude to the doors of hellfire opening, an occasion that is attempted to happen once every year, and is connected to the cosmology of King Yama starting in the Pali Canon.
