Vesak 2025: India sends Lord Buddha’s sacred relic to Vietnam

Vesak — also known as Buddha Purnima — is the holiest day for millions of Buddhists around the world. This year India has sent a sacred relic of Lord Buddha to Vietnam for the first time ever. A powerful act of diplomacy and devotion. Celebrated with prayers, meditation, and acts of compassion, Vesak is observed across Asia — from India to Vietnam, Thailand, and beyond.
