The Wesak festival, also known as Vesak or Buddha Purnima, typically lasts for one day, though celebrations can extend over a weekend or longer in some regions. It is observed on the full moon in May, commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and death of Gautama Buddha. Various Buddhist communities may hold different activities and rituals during this time, but the main observance occurs on the full moon day.
