On Buddha Purnima, may the divine grace of Lord Buddha always be with you. Happy Buddha Jayanti! Buddha Purnima commemorates the birth, attainment of enlightenment, and passing away of Lord Buddha. Also called Buddha Jayanti and Vesak, the festival is observed on the full moon day of the lunar month, which corresponds with the months of April-May. One of the most vibrant celebrations can be witnessed in Sarnath, Varanasi where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon to his disciples. Monasteries and temples are all lit up with bright lights, decorated with flowers, and welcomes devotees, pilgrims, and visitors from around the world. To mark the day, a large fair is held here and relics of the lord are taken out on caparisoned elephants for display. This year due to Covid-19 the event will take place online.
