Buddha Purnima is also known as Vesak or Buddha Jayanti. This is one of the most sacred festivals in the Buddhist calendar. It marks the birth, nirvana and death of Gautama Buddha , who was the founder of Buddhism.
In 2025, Buddha Purnima will be observed on May 15, Thursday, This date marks the full moon day, known as Purnima in the Vaisakha month of the Hindu lunar calendar.
Why is Buddha Purnima important?Siddhartha Gautama, who became the Buddha, was born around 563 BCE in Lumbini (present-day Nepal). At the age of a mere 35 years, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, Bihar and became Buddha or the enlightened one. While he was in Kushinagar, he passed away, attaining final liberation from the worldly cycle of life and death. All three events are believed to have occurred on the same lunar date, making Buddha Purnima a deeply spiritual occasion.
