Buddha Purnima is a special day dedicated to honoring Buddha. On this day, his shrine is cleaned with a mixture of oil and water. People offer special prayers and offerings to Buddha as part of their worship rituals. Many people gather at Buddha’s shrine to celebrate this occasion and enjoy special foods prepared by his followers.
For Hindus, Buddha is a revered deity who provides them with nourishment and happiness. To express their gratitude, they offer special rituals and prayers on his birthday. A unique bowl is created the day before Buddha Purnima, and Buddha’s idol is placed in it. Water and flowers are added to the bowl as well. During the Puja ceremony, the idol is worshiped in a small bowl, while the larger one holds the flowers.
Buddha Purnima holds great significance for Hindus from a spiritual perspective. Offering Puja to Buddha is believed to have a positive impact on one’s health and well-being. Observing a fast on this day is also considered to be beneficial for one’s health and for performing good deeds, thus improving one’s life.
