Ka Thingyan is the traditional Burmese New Year festival celebrated in Myanmar. It usually takes place in mid-April and marks the end of the hot season. The festival is known for its water festivities, where people splash water on each other as a symbol of cleansing and renewal. During Ka Thingyan, families and friends come together to enjoy various cultural activities, including traditional music, dance, and food. The festival also involves visiting temples to pay respects to ancestors and participate in religious rituals, making it a time for both celebration and reflection.
