Jogye-sa Temple’s Chrysanthemum Festival opened its door on October 21, 2011. The festival was designed for citizens, living busy lives, to feel the mood of the Autumn.
Together with Children’s Art competition and Chrysanthemum Exhibition Sales, Jogye-sa Temple opened its first Chrysanthemum festival under the theme “October Chrysanthemums bloom only in October” to spread the beautiful scent of chrysanthemum flowers. The festival proudly presents a very large elephant flower sculpture in front of the Main Buddha Hall and 330㎡ scale chrysanthemum flower garden.
