The auspicious occasion of Buddha Purnima, also known as Buddha Jayanti is here and is a significant day for the Buddhists. The day is celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of Lord Buddha. This year marks the 2585th birth anniversary of Lord Buddha and it will be celebrated today on May 5. In India, Buddha Purnima is celebrated with great enthusiasm. The festival is celebrated on the full moon day in the month of Vaishakha (April or May) according to the Hindu calendar.

However, this time Buddha Purnima is coinciding with the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. The celebration of Buddha Purnima in India has several historical and cultural reasons. Lord Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was born into a royal family in Lumbini. At his birth, his father, who was a king, wanted him to become a powerful ruler and kept him sheltered in the palace, away from the suffering of the outside world. 

However, one day, Siddhartha decided to venture out of the palace and was confronted with the reality of old age, sickness, and death. This experience left him disillusioned with his life in the palace and inspired him to seek the truth about existence and the cause of suffering. He left the palace and embarked on a spiritual journey.
