Unduvap Full Moon Poya Day is a special holiday in Sri Lanka. It happens in December when the moon is full and round. On this day, people remember when a sacred tree was brought to Sri Lanka a long time ago. This tree is important because it's said to be from the tree under which Buddha gained enlightenment. Many people go to temples to pray, meditate, and do good deeds. It's a peaceful day when families spend time together and think about being kind and doing good things for others.
