The exact date of Buddha's birthday varies every year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha's_Birthday Bathing Buddha is a purification ritual. I don't think mothers pour water on their babies here. However, there is a connection with the Songkran festival in Thailand, which is held around this time, where water is splashed around everywhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songkran_(Thailand)

So they celebrate Buddah's birthday every year on April 28? Do some mothers pour water on their own babies or kids on that day? Thanks.
