Signification

Cleaning the floor.

Contexte culturel

Sweeping is considered a morning ritual to clear out bad energy from the previous night. Never sweep at night as it is believed to sweep away your money and luck. In villages, sweeping the 'ground' (បោសដី) around the house is just as important as the inside. A total house cleaning (including sweeping) is mandatory before the New Year starts to welcome the new Tevada.
