Buddha Jayanti
Buddha Jayanti is a significant festival celebrated by millions around the world to honor the birth, enlightenment, and death of Gautama Buddha. It usually falls on the full moon day in April or May, depending on the lunar calendar. The day is marked by various religious activities, including prayers, meditation, and the chanting of Buddhist scriptures.
On this day, many devotees visit Buddhist temples to offer flowers, light candles, and participate in community events. In some countries, such as India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, processions and cultural programs are organized to spread the teachings of Buddha and promote peace and compassion.
