Every year Mongolia celebrates the birthday of Chinggis Khaan on the first day of winter according to the traditional Mongolian calendar as a national holiday, also known as National Pride Day. This year, the 846th birthday of the national hero – the “Man of the Millennium”, and a symbol of Mongolian pride and unity – will be celebrated on Sunday, 19 November.

Originally, the Government was set to mark the date on November 14 each year according to Gregorian Calendar. However, scholars have different views about the exact  birth date of Chinggis Khaan as it is hard to set an exact date according to the Gregorian Calendar.

According to tradition, Temujin, who was to grow up to unite the Mongol tribes, take the name of Chinggis Khaan and create the world’s largest ever land empire, was born in the year 1162 at Deluun Boldog near Dadal in what is now the Khentii Province.
