This photo captures the striking scene of Taiwan’s traditional ritual, “Bombarding the Tiger God,” a significant temple ceremony. At the center, the Tiger God’s palanquin is enveloped in thick smoke as firecrackers explode around it, symbolizing the use of gunpowder to ward off evil and bring blessings. The yellow-clad team surrounds the palanquin closely, demonstrating their devotion and protection of the Tiger God. The red lanterns and banners enhance the festive atmosphere, while the interplay of smoke and the crowd vividly showcases the unique charm and vitality of Taiwan’s religious culture.
