The birth of Lord Buddha is widely celebrated as Buddha Jayanti or Buddha Purnima.

Agartala Buddha Bihar is getting prepared for the auspicious festival.

Siddhartha Gautam transformed into 'Gautam Buddha' by denouncing worldly pleasures and embracing spirituality, seeking real enlightenment of the soul.

Buddha Purnima is considered thrice sacred day since it marks the birth, enlightenment and mahanirvana of the Buddha.

As history says the Buddha was born in Lumbini in present day Nepal, he attained self-realization in Bodhgaya in Bihar and finally attained mahanirvana in Kushinagar.
