Foong Tin Gong, Nine Emperor Gods Temple at Kajang

October 5, 2016 | Cheryl | ,

I visited this temple in Kajang on the quiet 4th day of the festival. Got lucky and ran into a blogger friend, Sam, who made sure that I ate good vegetarian food and met the committee.

The temple is 75 years old, got the ashes from the Ampang temple and continues a long tradition of worshipping the Emperor gods with community spirit and a respectful amount of “secrecy”. A few shots from my visit. I’m a bit sad that I didn’t take any photos of the committee. On my next visit! Day 6 is a big one in Kajang.

The gates
The lantern. Quite lush and the view of it is great from the upper level of the temple.
The Emperor’s residence
This temple also identifies as the Home of the Do Mu but, much like in the Ampang temple, she isn’t visible.
Beautiful, old censur. Smoky.
The boat will be carried to the river site for the send-off on Day 9.
A different kind of apron than I have in my kitchen!
Nine horses!
A place to help out with preparations for the send off, and to eat vegetarian food.
The spirit medium helps give devotees a massage from Kwan Yin to help with the energy.
Offerings to the Emperor for Day 9
In front of the fire pit, still burning from the night before, singers perform on the opera stage. Opera now happens in the afternoons only.
