The Prabarona Purnima, one of the important religious functions of the Buddhist community people, was celebrated here on Thursday.
On the occasion, the Buddhists thronged at century-old Yongda Buddha Bihar in the town early Thursday and performed prayer with flower, fruits and foliage’s. They also lighted candles in front of the Buddha statue seeking blessing for the people of the society and the country.
Former Member of Khagrachhari Hill District Council (KHDC) Animesh Chakma Rinku said, “Today is one of the happy days for us as because after three-month long “Barshabas” we get this day. In last three months, the Bhikkhus slept inside the Bihar. They had to visit other Bihars in daytime but had to return to their own Bihar before dusk. This special prayer is performed in the whole three months.”
Chairman of KHDC Kongjori Chowdhury said, “After three-month long prayer and special religious function, the Buddhists have celebrated the Prabarona Purnima. They will also perform Kathin Chibor Dan ritual in the next one month.”
