May Festivals 2026
The fifth month of the Gregorian Calendar, May, is a month of many Indian Festivals, including Sita Navami. Let’s see what else it has to offer to our Festival Calendar. Then there is Sita Navami. Sita Navami is celebrated as the birthday of Sitadevi, the embodiment of Goddess Lakshmi and wife of Lord Rama. May also brings Buddha Purnima, the birth anniversary of Gautam Buddha. Buddha Jayanti is recalled as the voyage of Lord Buddha’s birth, attainment of Nirvana, and demise. Hence, this day is a colossal festival among the followers of Buddhism across India.
