How the dates are worked out
☸️ Buddhist. The full-moon days come from the Panchang for your city; Buddha Purnima is Vaishakha Purnima, as observed in India. Theravada countries such as Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Thailand use their own lunar calendars and may keep Vesak on another full moon; Tibetan Losar follows the Tibetan calendar and is not shown.
