Binara Full Moon Poya Day is a significant Buddhist public holiday in Sri Lanka that commemorates the establishment of the Bhikkhuni Sasana (the order of female monks). It occurs annually during the full moon of September, leading to a nationwide closure of government offices, banks, and financial markets. The day is marked by religious observances and reflections on the role of women in the Buddhist faith.
The date is determined by the lunar calendar, specifically falling on the full moon day in the month of September (Binara). It is a statutory holiday mandated by the Sri Lankan government.
