this is God of Ocean...
|
every year, he celebrates his birthday for 9 days and Chinese people pay homage to him by eating vegetarian meals during the festival days...
|
FRUITS are the main offerings to the god since it is a vegetarian god...
|
the temple is just a small one thus thousands of people gotta squeeze into this small space during the festival days...
|
i dunno how to call it in English... that's a kind of appetizer made from flour filled with red bean cream... some people offer this to the god...
|
that's very tradition of Chinese... we fire the gold/silver papers and pray...
|
Burmese Chinese girls...
|
a Chinese old woman praying... they say the prayers in very high volume... i simply don't understand the language she speaks... not Mandarin Chinese...
|
i saw this lady praying... you know how long she takes? more than 5min... i wonder what she is praying for...
|
everything related to the god is "9"... 9 vegetarian days, people offer 9 varieties of fruits, 9 candles to the god... 9 is a lucky number for us...
