People of Leh today celebrated Buddha Purnima, the birth anniversary of Lord Buddha, with joy and fervour.
Thousands, including school children, monks, nuns, gathered at Leh Chokang, a Buddhist temple, from where they proceeded through different ways to Tsemo Gonpa, a Buddhist monastery here.
The procession culminated at the historic Leh Pologround with a cultural programme, in which several speakers addressed the gathering and threw light on the life of Lord Buddha.
School children also brought religious tableaux showcasing the philosophy of Buddhism on the occasion.
