The Nine Emperor Gods Festival for this year has concluded with the farewell ritual where the deities were returned via the waterways. These photos were taken early this morning of disciples at the bank of Kinta River for the ceremony to send off the Nine Emperor Gods and Goddess Dou Mu. This was also the spot for receiving the deities on the eve of the Nine Emperor Gods Festival ten days ago.
Persatuan Penganut-Penganut KEW ONG TAI-TAY is continuing the wisdom of our forefathers in worshipping the birth of the Nine Emperor Gods from the first day to the ninth day of the ninth moon according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, as was practised even before China's first Emperor, Shi Huang Di of Qin Dynasty (221 BCE - 206 BCE), to the present day.
灵应殿九皇大帝将继续举办有我们的祖宗信仰的九皇大帝圣诞千秋，并接着能够从秦朝的秦始皇皇帝（公元前221年到206年间或之前）的遗传，每年的九月初一到初九，膜拜到现在及将来。
