Buddha Jayanti is celebrated on the full moon day to commemorate the birth, enlightenment, and death of Lord Buddha. The Buddhist people celebrate this day vigorously. They all gather around the monasteries and go on processions called Parikrama, carrying the sacred texts on their head. The festival falls each year between April and May.
