                          About Public Holidays in Myanmar

                          Myanmar's calendar runs on a Burmese lunisolar calendar with irregular leap-month insertions, so several Buddhist full-moon holidays - marking Buddha's Birthday, the start and end of Buddhist Lent, and the Festival of Lights - shift unevenly from year to year rather than by a predictable number of days. Thingyan, the multi-day Water Festival culminating in Myanmar New Year, is instead timed by a solar-calendar calculation similar to its neighbors' new year festivals, keeping it anchored to mid-April far more reliably.
