The celebrations - held ahead of official birth-of-Buddha events in May - will include a multimedia art exhibition from the US, which has been updated with works from several local artists.
Visitors can explore a re-creation of the Lumbini Garden, the birthplace of Buddha, pictured above.
There will also be a family festival held on Sunday involving a bathing-the-Buddha ceremony, a multi-faith prayer and a traditional lion dance.
