May
In most of the country it's hot. Really hot. Festivals slow down as humidity builds up
in anticipation of the rain. Hill stations are hopping, though.
Buddha's Birthday
Commemorating the Buddha's birth, nirvana (enlightenment) and parinirvana (total libera-
tion from the cycle of existence, or passing away), Buddha Jayanti is quiet but moving: de-
votees dress simply, eat vegetarian food, listen to dharma talks and visit monasteries or
temples.
Ramadan (Ramazan)
Thirty days of dawn-to-dusk fasting mark the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Muslims
traditionally turn their attention to God, with a focus on prayer and purification. Ramadan
begins around 28 June 2014, 18 June 2015 and 6 June 2016.
