Festival Myanmar Tagu |
Tagu Myanmar Festival
is the first month of the Myanmar
calendar. It falls in March and April on the
Gregorian calendar. Myanmar new year
festival is Thingyan Festival. It is held in
the month of Tagu every year. That has been
the tradition since Tagaung Period and it
became prominent in Bagan Period.
Water is a symbol of coolness, clearness and
cleansing of dirt and grime. The festival of Thingyan that is made most merry and
enjoyable with pouring or throwing water on
one another is taken as one that cleanses
one and all of all dirt and grime of the old
year and cools and clears the minds of the
people for the new year.
Merry-making at Thingyan festival is
intermingled with noble and pure activities
of doing meritorious religious deeds in
accord with the teachings of Buddha Dhamma
