Celebrating Vesak poya day

On Vesak poya day,Later in the night, I go out with my parents and, walk through the streets admiring the houses lit with hundreds of paper lanterns and tiny lights and the candles hanging from the trees.it will not be dark in any corner because everybody is celebrating this holy day with light and decoration. And also my family and I will push our way through the crowded streets to see the huge pandol in the square, a forty-foot tall construction of colored lights that shift and change, telling a story of Lord Buddha. Buddhism is one of the oldest religions in the world, and it is followed in many Asian countries.
