Significance

Buddha Purnima, known across Asia as Vesak, is the most important day of the Buddhist year.

బుద్ధ పౌర్ణమి

How it is observed

Lay Buddhists visit viharas and stupas, offer flowers, lamps and incense, listen to the Dhamma and in many communities take the eight precepts for the day. Giving (dana) to monks and to the needy is central: in Sri Lanka roadside stalls (dansal) serve free food and streets are hung with Vesak lanterns.
