Celebrate the sacred Vesak festival, also known as Buddha Purnima, as we pay homage to the birth, enlightenment, and passing away of Lord Buddha. Vesak is a joyous occasion marked by acts of generosity, kindness, and spiritual reflection, observed with great reverence by Buddhists in Sri Lanka and across the world. Temples are adorned with colorful lanterns and intricate decorations, while devotees gather to participate in prayers, meditation, and almsgiving, symbolizing the virtues of compassion, wisdom, and mindfulness embodied by the Buddha.
