Crowds throng Snake Temple for deity’s birthday festivities


A colourful traditional Chinese dance performed before the flame-watching ceremony in conjunction with the Cheng Chooi Chor Soo Kong’s birthday at the Snake Temple.

A STEADY stream of devotees thronged the Hock Hin Keong (Ban Ka Lan Snake Temple) in Bayan Lepas, Penang, to observe the birthday of its resident deity Cheng Chooi Chor Soo Kong which fell on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year.

For the Neoh family, it was a memorable and meaningful day as they visited the temple after missing the celebration for three years.
