Buddhists are celebrating Buddha Day, one of their most important festivals of the year, for the first time in-person together since the pandemic.
The festival, also known as Vesak or Wesak day, is a celebration of Buddha’s birthday and a time to reflect on his teachings and what it means to be Buddhist.
It usually takes place on the first full moon in May, but previously events have been disrupted by the Covid pandemic.
Each Buddhist culture has its own traditions for the day, but it is celebrated in lots of different Asian countries, including Thailand, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
