Taiwan: Pingtung's Triennial Donggang King Boat Featival

Believers scatter underground banknotes before burning the King Boat to call upon gods to help, during the triennial Donggang King Boat Featival (also known as the Wangye Worshiping Ceremony), a traditional ritual that has been inherited since the Qing dynasty and is used for saving people from plagues and pandemics, in Donggang Township, Pingtung, Taiwan, 31 October 2021. The week-long ceremony is held to ask for help from gods to save the people from pandemics and plagues, with devotees and temples going through a series of protocols including paying worships to different local gods, and burning a tremendous wooden boat.
