It is the most important festival for Buddhists worldwide...
Buddha Purnima, a sacred festival, honours the birth of Gautama Buddha. He is the founder of Buddhism.
While the real date of his birth remains unknown, traditions celebrate it on the full moon day of the Vaisakha month in the Hindu lunar calendar.
This year, Buddha Purnima is on Thursday, May 23rd, 2024.
Born in 623 BC in the serene gardens of Lumbini, Nepal, Prince Siddhartha Gautama, who later became Gautama Buddha, embarked on a spiritual journey that would impact the world.
The World Heritage Site continues to be a significant pilgrimage destination for Buddhists. It attracts visitors from across the globe.
Buddha Purnima is a day for reflection on the core principles of Buddhism: peace, compassion, and enlightenment.
