On Sunday, as many as 67 heritage enthusiasts gathered at Bavikonda, a sacred Buddhist site in Vizag, to take part in the full moon meditation, organised by Heritage Narrator Jayshree Hatangadi. Aimed at acknowledging the significance of the full moon in the Buddhist calendar, the meditation session lasted for about two hours, with participants sharing their experiences of various meditative methods.

“The Full Moon is one of the most sacred times in the Buddhist calendar, Siddarth Gautama, known as Buddha, was born on a full moon, his renunciation was on a full moon, he became enlightened on a full moon, he left his human form attained Parinibbana (Pali) on a full moon night. It is an auspicious period filled with an abundance of spiritual energy, that brings transformation,” shared Heritage Narrator Jayshree Hatangadi.
