Buddha Purnima is celebrated commemorating the birth of Lord Buddha. According to Buddhist traditions, Prince Siddhartha Gautama, later known as Gautama Buddha, was born in 623 B.C. at Lumbini in the Terai region of Nepal.
Buddha Purnima, in the month of Vaishakha, is an extremely auspicious day. It is believed that Gautama Buddha obtained enlightenment on this day. Buddha Purnima is also known as Buddha Jayanti, Vesak and Vaishaka.
A couple of centuries after his death he came to be known by the title Buddha, which means “Awakened One” or “Enlightened One”.
