A day marked with prayers, processions, charity


Illuminated decorations draw crowds during Wesak Day celebrations at Buddhist Maha Vihara, Brickfields in Kuala Lumpur.

Throughout the day worshippers offered incense, flowers and candles, moving through temple halls and open compounds.

Chanting sessions and meditation formed part of the observance, with monks leading prayers and blessing devotees.

In several locations, volunteers distributed items such as blessed water and food to those present.

Outside temple grounds, float processions and candlelight walks took place, with participants carrying lanterns or candles along designated routes.

In the evening, illuminated displays and candlelight arrange­ments were set up at temples and public spaces.
