Vesak Religious Celebrations

Sri Lanka is observing Vesak, an important Buddhist religious festival commemorating Buddha's birth, enlightenment, and death. Multiple events and cultural activities are being organized across the country, including religious displays and community gatherings.

Only in Sri Lanka can a religious festival turn into a national performance art competition, where religious leaders and media compete to see who can create the most epic pandal and drop the most photogenic press release. Who needs Netflix when you've got Vesak season's drama?
