Buddha Purnima Decoration Ideas

A brass bowl with lotus flowers and a few peepal or bodhi leaves, placed beside a Buddha image with a single white candle. Peepal leaves are the specific symbol — the Buddha attained enlightenment under a peepal tree.

Typical spend: ₹200–₹800

Paper or cloth lanterns hung along the balcony and a candle lit at dusk. Lantern processions are the festival's visual signature across Theravada countries, and a simple balcony version works anywhere.

Typical spend: ₹300–₹1,200

White cloth, a Buddha statue or image, a small brass lamp and a bowl of water with floating flowers. Buddhist shrine aesthetics are deliberately spare — resist adding colour.

Typical spend: ₹200–₹1,000
