Yenning-tha (ꯌꯦꯟꯅꯤꯡꯊꯥ), also known as Yening-tha (ꯌꯦꯅꯤꯡꯊꯥ), refers to the spring season in Meitei language. It is one of the seasons in the Meitei calendar of Ancient Kangleipak (early Manipur). It plays an important role in different elements of the Meitei culture, including but not limited to Meitei festivals, Meitei folklore, Meitei folktales, Meitei history, Meitei literature, Meitei mythology, Meitei proverbs, traditional Meitei religion (Sanamahism), etc.[1]
Yenning-tha is viewed as "the season of new sprouts; it is symbolic of new beginnings, new hopes and dreams". Multiple people refer to Yenning-tha as the season of new beginnings. It's seen as a sign of better times ahead and is linked to positive energy (including effervescent youthful spirit). It is considered as just opposite of the Naken-tha (autumn season).[2]

In Manipuri culture, spring is yenningtha, the season of new sprouts; it is symbolical of new beginnings, new hopes and dreams... Much has been said about spring or yenningtha as the season of re-awakening, a harbinger of hopefully good times and associated with positive energy. The effervescent youthful spirit of spring is qualitatively different from the calm of autumn.
