It is celebrated as a festival in Nepal, India and Bhutan by the Hindus, Jains and Buddhists. This festival is traditionally observed by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains to revere their chosen spiritual teachers / leaders and express their gratitude. The festival is celebrated on the full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Ashadha(June–July) as it is known in the Hindu calendar of India and Nepal.The festival was revived by Mahatma Gandhi to tribute to his spiritual guru Shrimad Rajchandra.
