Vesak is one of the colourful religious festivals in the world. We celebrate Vesak to commemorate the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment and death. The Vesak festival is very colourful and it is celebrated by Buddhists in May. Buddhists observe Sil and have Dansals and make beautiful pandals for Vesak. Buddhist homes are decorated with Vesak lanterns. Vesak brings peace to people all over the world.
