The festival of Buddha Purnima is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Siddhartha Gautama or Lord Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. This year, the festive occasion is being celebrated on Monday, 16 May. Buddha Purnima is observed on 'Purnima' or a full moon day. The festival is also known as Buddha Jayanti.
It is believed that on this day Buddha achieved enlightenment. Hence, it is considered to be auspicious and is celebrated by Buddhists across the globe.
As per Buddhist traditions, Prince Siddhartha Gautama was believed to be born in 623 BCE at Lumbini in Nepal’s Terai region. The place is now a popular pilgrimage spot as well as a UNESCO World Heritage site. While the exact date of Lord Buddha's birth is not known, the celebrations are based on the Hindu lunar calendar. In parts of South and Southeast Asia, the occasion is celebrated as part of Vesak, which marks the day of Buddha's enlightenment.
