Vesak, or Buddha Purnima, is a sacred Buddhist festival commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and death of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha. Celebrated across Asia, it typically falls on the full moon day in May.
Devotees engage in acts of kindness, meditation, and visit temples, reflecting on Buddha's teachings of compassion and enlightenment.
Homes and public spaces are adorned with colorful lanterns and flags. Temples illuminate with lights, and processions featuring symbolic relics and images of Buddha take place. Vesak is a time of reflection, spiritual renewal, and expressions of generosity, promoting peace and harmony in Buddhist communities worldwide.
