Taosim Possessions / Ceremony

Three days ago on a hot sunday afternoon while i was checking my emails at home, i suddenly heard loud chants and drumming going on. Upon checkig out of my window, i realized it was a Taoism Possession / Ceremony, whereby "Tunki", the human that is supposed to be possessed by the gods in Taosism per say. They were supported and serviced by a group of loyal and trusted devotees that was ushering from one block to anothe block.

It was an awesome sight i must say. At times, i may even say it is great entertainment. We see people of all races and religions in this area, all looking attentively to the whole possession. They were all amazed and happy with what is going on.


I have taken a few photos and the 1st one starts with "Ji-Kong" which is the Taosism Saint that is tasked to help the poor in the world of human beings. The next one shows the "Dragon" that is made alife by the dragon perfomers. Their movement are so sleek and smooth - that makes the dragon looks so "dragon".

The following photos shows 4 guys carrying a "Red Sedan" which houses the "Taosist Gods & Saints" and carries them around.
