Buddha Purnima
The founder of Buddhism, Gautam Buddha is remembered across India on Buddha Purnima, the day of his birth and eventual enlightenment. Buddhists go to common Viharas (Monasteries) to peruse Buddhist sutras, the traditional teachings, and the dress code is pure white. Kheer, a sweet rice porridge is commonly served to recall the story of Sujata, a maiden who offered the Buddha this dish during his meditations under the Bodhi tree where he achieved enlightenment.
