Local elders celebrate Buddha's birthday at Samgwangsa Temple.

 

In Korea the birthday of Buddha is celebrated according to the Lunisolar calendar. This day is called 석가탄신일 (Seokga tansinil), meaning "the day of Buddha's birthday" or 부처님 오신 날 (Bucheonim osin nal) meaning "Welcome Buddha Day". Lotus lanterns cover the entire temple throughout the month which are often flooded down the street. ~ Wikipedia
