Buddha Purnima is celebrated by Buddhists and Hindus across the world to commemorate the birth anniversary of Gautam Buddha. In 2024, it’s being celebrated on May 23, Thursday. It’s believed Buddha – which means ‘the awakened – was born in Lumbini, in what is now Nepal, to royal parents of the Shakya clan, before he renounced the material world.  Born as Prince Siddhartha Gautama, Buddha left his home and the materialistic world at the young age of 29. According to legends, once on a royal ride, he came across a corpse and an ailing old man, which instigated him to seek answers to life’s mysteries. He renounced the material world and became a wandering ascetic and spiritual teacher. His preachings are the foundation of Buddhism. Buddha Purnima is observed on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Vaisakha, which falls in April or May.
