Oligi väike tumepruun Buddha keset suurt teokarpi nimetissõrm taevapoole. Vanni ümber oli pikk järjekord inimesi, kes kõik soovisid suure kulbiga Buddhakest kasta. Samal ajal oli kuulda kusagilt trummidepõrinat ja munkade palvetamist (chanting).
Lisaks Buddha vannitamisele oli Vesak päeval veel teine omapärane traditsioon - puuriloomade ja lindude vabastamine, mis pidi Buddhistidele sümboliseerima üleüldist vabastamist/vabanemist. See traditsioon on aga viimastel aastatel vähem levinud, sest on palju teavitustööd tehtud selle kohta, kuidas kodustatud loomad võivad ökosüsteemi tasakaalu mõjutada.

2. The date of Vesak Day varies around the world depending on the lunar calendars used in different cultures. Generally, in countries following the Western Gregorian calendar, it will happen in May, or June during leap years. However, in China, Japan and Korea, Vesak Day is celebrated on April 8.
3. On the day, Buddhists will usually visit their temples for ceremonies which will include prayers and offerings of candles and flowers. Other common rituals include bathing a Buddha statue, sharing in vegetarian meals as well as listening to teachings by monks.
4. Releasing caged birds and animals is a common practice. For Buddhists, it is a symbol of liberation. But in recent years, eco awareness has also resulted in more restraint. This year, the National Parks Board as well as the Buddhist Fellowship have advised against the practice, pointing out that most tame animals let into the wild might not survive and those animals that do survive might upset the ecosystem in the wild.
5. In Singapore, Vesak Day was made a public holiday only in 1955 after many public petitions.
