Celebrations typically include visiting temples, engaging in meditation, participating in prayer ceremonies, and making offerings such as flowers, candles, and food. Many communities also hold processions and cultural performances, and some practice acts of generosity and kindness, reflecting the Buddha's teachings. The festival emphasizes peace, compassion, and mindfulness, fostering a spirit of community and reflection.
