Incense in the Temple


There is no regular service in these temples people just pass by and light incense to pray for good fortune and on behalf of their departed ancestors. The incense burns for a long time, so it is always somewhat smoky. The Chinese can incorporate many deities in their different religions and philosophies into one, similar to the Hindus.
