Jenjarom Sparkles In The Lunar New Year

This little township nestled halfway between the royal town of Klang and Banting, came alive in a splendid blaze of lights when the sun sank below the horizon. 

It was a beautiful surprise as we had not heard of this town nor the large temple complex that boasted beautiful gardens with flowers of different varieties. 

 This year is the Year of the Rooster so there are many colorful roosters and chickens superbly lighted up. These are the big draw which attracted thousands of visitors to this little town.

We were invited there by my former sis-in-law after a lovely afternoon tea. 

She insisted that we just had to see the beautiful lights, so there we were. I’d like to share the lovely pictures with you. My siblings and my former sis-in-law who still remains a close family member in our hearts are in most of these pictures.

       The Rooster greets us as we enter the temple grounds of Fo Guan Shan Dong Zen.

 

                                      The Rooster stands tall and proud resplendent in its colors.

                                                                  Orchids behind me

                                     The figures and the heart will light up once the sun sets
                              

                                                                      Chickens!

When the sun went down, more and more people came into the temple grounds, attracted by the lovely lights.

 

The lights will go out after the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. The next event where there will be more lanterns decorating the temple grounds will be the Mid Autumn Festival in the second half of the year.
