To commemorate the birthday of Gautam Buddha, devotees all over the world celebrate Buddha Purnima. This day falls on the full moon day in the Hindu month of Vaisakha and this year, it will be observed on April 30. Popularly known as Vesak or Buddha Day and Buddha Jayanti, it is believed that on this day Buddha was born in Lumbini (now Nepal) approximately around 563 BCE. Although Buddha Purnima is celebrated as the birthday of Buddha, many also believe it was the day when he attained salvation or Nirvana under the Mahabodhi tree at Bodh Gaya. Devotees celebrate the day by preaching and discussing the life and teachings of Lord Buddha. They worship and decorate Buddha’s idols with flowers, chant mantras from the scriptures, meditate, eat vegetarian food and take part in charity by donating food, clothes, shelter and money to the needy.
