Vesak Festival - 2023
The Buddhist calendar commences with the Month of Vesak, which holds great significance in the religion. It is believed that Lord Buddha was born on the auspicious Vesak Full Moon Poya Day, and it was also the day he attained supreme enlightenment at the age of 35. Furthermore, after an illustrious ministry of 45 years, Lord Buddha attained Parinirvana or passed away on the very same Vesak Full Moon Poya Day.
