Visakha Bucha is a national public holiday during which Buddhists throughout the country traditionally gather at temples to join ceremonies, including the candle-lit processions.
Instead of people joining large gatherings at temples, the Ministry of Culture is advising Buddhists this year to stay home and join ceremonies and festivities to be held online.
“Wherever you are, you can make merit,” the ministry noted in a post online yesterday, ahead of today’s main ceremonies.
