The Shrine

The shrine is located on the top floor of the Thean Hou Temple. It enshrines the three deities, the main worship of the Goddess Mazu, and the deputy worship of Goddess of Mercy (Guanyin) and Goddess of Shui Wei.

The General Council of Thean Hou Temple of the Association reformed the way of worship. In addition to the decision not to burn joss paper and candles, only 4 incense sticks are allowed to be lit.  This innovation of incense burning aims to prevent environmental pollution and inculcate the virtues of doing good, eliminating evil and saving the people.
