Photos show the Buddhists celebrate Magha Puja festival in Pathum Thani province in Thailand on February 22, 2016. Believers throng to major temples to celebrate the day by praying, meditating, and walking in procession around the central altar three times with candles, incense, and flowers under the full moon.

Magha Puja is an important Buddhist festival celebrated on the full moon day in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar. The spiritual aims of the day are: not to commit any kind of sins; do only good; purify one's mind. "Magha" means "the third lunar month" in Thai language, and "Puja" means "to honor".
