Vesak is celebrated by Buddhists all around the world. Vesak falls in the month of May. We celebrate it to mark the birth, the Enlightenment and the passing away of Lord Buddha.

We can see vesak lanterns and pandols all over the country. People can eat and drink at free refreshment stalls. People can spend the time peacefully and happily during this time.
