Buddha Jayanti (Vesak Day) !

The day Buddha was born...!

Dad n son offering Holy water to Gautam Buddha !

We visited Gumba (Stupa) on Buddha Jayanti (Vesak Day). We took a bus upto Geylang and after 5-7 minutes walk we reached there. Many people already gathered in the place and we joined them. The place to lit the candle was decorated so well that my junior man enjoyed the colors of candles and flowers. He loves to pray with candle (Aarati). Then we got inside the stupa where 5 faces of buddha were displayed and all the visitors kneeled down before the Lords making their prayers. We also did and most pleasantly my little man did it enjoying it. He looks so so cute while doing his prayers.
After lunch break we went to visit Lama and Head Lama or Guru (I don't remember how he is addressed) who blessed us with their enchants. Mr. Junior also enjoyed it and he bowed his head to them so perfectly they too enjoyed his praying style.

With my little man lighting candle !
