This is my second time to celebrate Myanmar new year 2019.

Thingyan, which means “transit”, is the Myanmar New Year Festival and is held in the month of Tagu, the first month of the Myanmar Calendar, which usually falls on 13th April and lasts for three or four days.

Thingyan is the festival in which you can get the greatest fun for the longest period.

This festival is also celebrated in neighboring Buddhist countries;

Songkran in Thailand and Laos,

Chaul Chnam Thmey in Cambodia.

This holiday is not only a time for fun but a reason for goodwill and good deeds. It is the time for washing the images of the Buddha in the family shrine room with scented water.

Many elderly people spend the days of the festival observing Sabbath, listening to sermons, sitting in meditation and telling beads at pagodas and monasteries.
