About Budhha Poornima (Birth Of Budhha)
Buddha’s Birthday or Buddha Day (also known as Buddha Jayanti, Buddha Purnima, and Buddha Pournami) is a primarily Buddhist festival that is celebrated in most of South, Southeast and East Asia, commemorating the birth of the prince Siddhartha Gautama, who became the Gautama Buddha and founded Buddhism.
According to Buddhist tradition and archaeologists, Gautama Buddha, c. 563-483 BCE, was born at Lumbini in Nepal Buddha’s mother was Queen Maya Devi, who delivered the Buddha while undertaking a journey to her native home, and his father was King Śuddhodana.The Mayadevi Temple, its gardens, and an Ashoka Pillar dating from 249 BCE mark the Buddha’s birth place at Lumbini.
Siddhartha gave up his extravagant life to find out what life was really about. He finally figured it out while sitting under a tree in India. After that, he went around preaching to everyone to be nice, not hurt anyone, and how to be happy.
The day typically begins with a visit to temples and monasteries, where devotees offer prayers, flowers, incense, and candles. These offerings symbolise the transient nature of life and the dedication to follow the path of enlightenment.
Some devotees participate in meditation sessions and listen to sermons on the Buddha’s teachings.
In the followers of Theravada style the dress code is pure white, others do not follow particular dress code.
