About Vaishakha Purnima:
All Tithis of Purnima are considered auspicious among Hindus. Vaishakha Purnima is the second Purnima of the year according to the Hindu lunar calendar and comes just after Narasimha Jayanti.
Every day of Purnima has something special to celebrate. Buddha Jayanti falls on the day of Vaishakha Purnima and this day is celebrated as the anniversary of the birth of Gautama Buddha.
People worship Lord Satyanarayana Swamy, an extremely benevolent form of Lord Maha Vishnu, and observe the fast of Satyanarayana on Purnima Day.
Many communities observe a fast day in Purnima Tithi according to their Kul Parampara. Kul Paramparas are family traditions handed down from generation to generation.
