Kason (May) is the second month of the Burmese lunar calendar. As it falls in the middle of summer, the water in ponds and lakes reduces to its lowest level. Burmese celebrates by pouring water at the holy Bodhi tree where the Buddha enlightened to keep it green. The stamp for the month of Kason featured its seasonal flowers Sagarwar [Michelia Champaca] and Bodhi Tree watering festival.
