Thadingyut (Burmese: သီတင်းကျွတ်, pronounced [ðədɪ́ɴd͡ʑʊʔ]) is the seventh month of the traditional Burmese calendar (which corresponds to 15 days in September and 15 days in October in the Gregorian calendar).[1]
The Myanmar term "thadin" (သီတင်း) means the Buddhist Lent (Vassa), which spans the three preceding lunar months and is the tradition of Buddhist monks trying to avoid traveling as Buddha instructed them. The term "thadingyut" means the liberation from or the end of the Lent.
