Vesak in Galle





















Vesak, the birth, death and enlightenment of Buddha all celebrated on the same day, 1st full moon in May. Lots of paper lanterns are made, they range in size, some are huge and very complex, all look great when all lit up. We came upon the lorry in Galle Fort and watched the children being prepared to take part in activities, they are a choir.
