PHUKET: Hundreds of devotees joined the ceremonies held at Wat Wichit Sangkaram in Phuket Town early this morning (May 18) to honour the major Buddhist holy day Visakha Bucha.

 

The ceremonies began in the morning with Phuket Governor Phakkaphong Tavipatana and his wife Sitthinee Tavipatana leading provincial officials in joining the religious event.

 

Each year on Visakha Bucha Day, Buddhists all over the world commemorate three great events on this full moon of the sixth lunar month: The birth, enlightenment and the passing away of Gautama Buddha.
