Visakha Puja or Visakha Bucha or Vesak is regarded as the holiest of Buddhist festivals, marking the birth, enlightenment and death of Lord Buddha, founder of Buddhism. Vesak day falls on the 15th day of the waxing moon in the 6th lunar month, which is usually May in the Gregorian calendar. A candle procession is taken out in evening on the occasion.
