Hanamatsuri (Flower Festival) celebrates the birth of Siddhārtha Gautama, who became Śākyamuni, the historical Buddha. We adorn the pavilion (hanamido) that shelters the baby Buddha statue with flowers and offer the statue sweet tea representing the gentle rain falling in Lumbini Garden on the day of Siddhārtha's birth.
