Rubik’s cube mural of Lord Buddha

Buddha Jayanti, also known as Buddha Purnima, marks the birth, enlightenment, and nirvana of Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. Celebrated on the full moon day of Vaisakha (April-May), devotees visit monasteries, offer prayers, and practice kindness and meditation, honoring Buddha’s teachings of peace, wisdom, and non-violence.

He renounced his royal luxuries to seek enlightenment, ultimately discovering the Middle Path—a balanced way of living that avoids both extreme indulgence and severe asceticism. His teachings on compassion and mindfulness continue to inspire millions worldwide.
