Buddha Purnima 10 May 2017 Mount Abu

Gracias congregate on Nakki Lake on Buddha Purnima 


Buddha Purnima /Flower Moon

Nakki Lake 

Buddha Purnima The full moon in May also referenced as the Flower Moon has a unique gravitational pull not so much on the waters of Nakki Lake but on the Gracias of Rajasthan. On Buddha Purnima, Gracias from Rajasthan come together at Nakki Lake to celebrate their traditions. Their zest for fun and frolic is exceptional to witness. Previously, a majority of these folks used to trudge all the way from their villages to be here at Nakki Lake on Buddha Purnima. This year, hundreds of them came to Abu on a variety of different motorcycles and scooters. Others used jeeps and local state and private transportation. Watching the tribal people in their vibrant traditional attire and hearing their joyful folklore songs is a unique experience.
