Saka Dawa is an important Buddhist festival celebrated by Tibetan Buddhists on the full moon day of the fourth lunar month. It is believed to be the most sacred month in the Tibetan calendar, as it marks the birth, enlightenment, and passing away of Gautama Buddha.

During Saka Dawa, Buddhists engage in various activities such as prayer, meditation, and acts of generosity. It is believed that any good deeds done during this month are multiplied in their power and effects. Many people also practice fasting and refrain from eating meat to purify their body and mind.

There are several practices and activities that are commonly undertaken during this time. Here are some suggestions on what to do during Saka Dawa:
