Also called The Homage to Buddhas First Sermon Festival, it is to commemorate Shakyamuni Buddha's first teaching and the first turning of the Wheel of Dharma and the teaching of the Four Noble Truths.
After reaching enlightenment, the Buddha began attracting followers—and founding a religion—by preaching. He delivered his first sermon at Sarnath, near the banks of the Ganges in Northeast India, in the 6th century BCE.
