The Nine Emperor Gods Temple is one of the biggest temples in Butterworth. It was an attap shed that set up in 1970. By the effort of the devotees, the temple was rebuilt started from year 1996 and fully completed on 26 April 2000. The total cost for the rebuilding was RM7 million.The Nine Emperor Gods are part of a Taoist cult belief known as Kao Ong Yah (Hokkien) or Kow Wong Yea (Cantonese). Every year, the Nine Emperor Gods Festival is held on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. During the festival, the followers will practice vegetarian diet for the least 1 day to 15 days in order to have a clean body. There are firewalking, spear skewering, playing of hot oil by the tranced mediums and many other events in these nine days that shouldn't miss.
Here are some of the photos i took last night. Still having the problems on the setting of the white balance, this time were too yellowish compared to the Kek Lok Si Temple which were too reddish ...
