🌕✨ Celebrate Vesak in Sri Lanka: A Festival of Light, Peace & History ✨🌕
This May, Sri Lanka comes alive with glowing lanterns and serene celebrations to mark Vesak—the holiest day in the Buddhist calendar, commemorating the birth, enlightenment, and passing of Lord Buddha.
At the heart of these celebrations stands the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy—home to one of the most revered relics in the Buddhist world: a tooth believed to be of the Buddha himself. This ancient temple, nestled beside a tranquil lake, has drawn pilgrims and royalty for centuries, and remains a powerful symbol of Sri Lankan spirituality and heritage.
🕊️ Did you know? The relic was smuggled into Sri Lanka in the 4th century hidden in the hair of a princess, and it played a central role in choosing the island’s capital cities over the centuries.
If you’ve ever wanted to experience a deeply spiritual, culturally rich tradition, Vesak in Kandy is a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
