A coffin for good luck?

Many Taoist ritual bands have Malay and Indian members

A very elaborate panequin

Getting ready for the rituals

Paint yourself pretty!

Spikes:  Tools of the trade

Lian Hua San Tai Zhi's altar

A medium's pre-possession prayers

Another medium cleansing himself with sacred fire

Final prayers

In progress... the medium threw up?

Medium representing Ne Zha?

Turn to get ready

Female medium

One of the many monkey gods

Helping the monkey god

Ready!

Up onto the table!

Lian Hua San Tai Zhi

Watch thy back!

Relax lah!

Resting...

Look at the pretty body art...

And more spikes
