Martyrs' Day (Burmese: အာဇာနည်နေ ့, pronounced [ʔàzànì nḛ]) is a Burmese national holiday< /a> observed on 19 July to commemorate Gen. Aung San and six other leaders of the pre-independence interim government—Thakin Mya, Ba Cho, Abdul Razak, Ba Win, Mahn Ba Khaing and Sao San Tun—all of whom were assassinated on that day in 1947. It is customary for high-ranking government officials to visit the Martyrs' Mausoleum in Yangon in the morning of that day to pay respects.
On July 19, 1947, at approximately 10:37 a.m., BST, several of Burma's independence leaders were gunned do wn by a group of armed men in uniform while they were holding a cabinet mee ting at the Secretariat in downtown Yangon. The assassinations were planned by a rival political group, and the leader and alleged master-mind of that group Galon U Saw, together with the perpetrators, were tried and convi cted by a special tribunal presided by Kyaw Myint with two other Barristers -at-law, Aung Thar Gyaw and Si Bu. In a judgment given on 30 December 1947 the tribunal sentenced U Saw and a few others to death and the rest were gi ven prison sentences. Appeals to the High Court of Burma by U Saw and his a ccomplices were rejected on 8 March 1948. In a judgment written by Supreme Court Justice E Maung (1898–1977) on 27 April 1948 the Supreme Court refuse d leave to appeal against the original judgment. (All the judgments of the tribunal, the High Court and the Supreme Court were written in English. The judgment of the tribunal can be read in "A Trial in Burma" by Dr Maung Maung (Martinus Njhoff, 1963) and the judgment of the High Court and Supreme C ourt can be read in the 1948 Burma Law Reports.)

Thingyan is originated from the Buddhist version of a Hindu myth. The King of Brahmas called Arsi, lost a wager to the King of Devas, Śakra (Thag ya Min), who decapitated Arsi as agreed but put the head of an elephant on the Brahma's body who then became Ganesha. The Brahma was so powerful that if t he head were thrown into the sea it would dry up immediately. If it were th rown onto land it would be scorched. If it were thrown up into the air the sky would burst into flames. Sakra therefore ordained that the Brahma's hea d be carried by one princess devi after another taking turns for a year eac h. The new year henceforth has come to signify the changing of hands of the Brahma's head.[1]
