Snake Deity Appears for 45th Consecutive Year at Nantou Tian Shou Palace, Delighting Worshippers

Reported 11 months ago

In Nantou County's Mingjian Township, worshippers at Tian Shou Palace were surprised on the morning of the 9th when they discovered a large-headed snake crawling on the altar, marking its 45th consecutive year of appearance and being regarded as a lucky charm by believers. Known as the 'Snake Deity,' the snake visits the temple every year around the Dragon Boat Festival, staying for 3 to 10 days, with experts speculating its appearance is due to the mating season and the search for prey like frogs. The phenomenon, ongoing for 45 years, has become a symbol of good luck for the temple and worshippers.
