Mumbai: Buddha Purnima, one of the most spiritually significant days in Hinduism and Buddhism, will be observed on Monday, 12 May 2025, marking the birth and enlightenment of Lord Gautam Buddha. As per belief, Lord Buddha is considered the ninth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, and his life continues to inspire millions across the globe.
According to the Vedic Panchang, the full moon (Purnima) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaishakha is the day when Lord Buddha was born and later attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya. This year, the day will also mark the 2587th birth anniversary of the Enlightened One.
When is Buddha Purnima 2025?
The Purnima tithi begins at 8:01 PM on Sunday, 11 May, and ends at 10:25 PM on Monday, 12 May. Since the Udaya Tithi (prevalent at sunrise) falls on 12 May, the festival will be celebrated on Monday, 12 May 2025.
Spiritual Importance
The day holds immense spiritual weight in Sanatan Dharma, with traditions encouraging devotees to perform sacred rituals like bathing in holy rivers, offering Arghya (water) to the Sun, and donating to the needy. Worshipping Lord Vishnu and Lord Buddha on this day is said to bring blessings of health, longevity, and liberation from past karmic burdens.
