In pics: night view of Beira Lake during celebration of Vesak Festival in Colombo, Sri Lanka

Photo taken on May 20, 2019 shows the night view of the Beira Lake during celebration of Vesak Festival in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The Vesak festival falls on May 18 this year. It is one of the holiest festivals celebrated in Sri Lanka as it marks the birth, enlightenment and passing away of the Lord Buddha. This year, celebrations have been minimized following the deadly terror attacks on Easter Sunday which killed over 250 people and injured over 500. (Xinhua/Tang Lu)
