"Swing God Festival"

2nd day of 2nd month(chinese calendar), is my kampung big fest -- the swing god festival.
( i dont know the real name of this festival)
swing god? (yes, swing the god, but dont ask me why... =_=)

early morning, already many people gather at the temple...at a small hill
there is a big stair to climb to the temple (the smoke is terrible tick...*coughing* )
people inside busying prepare the festival

...
....
.....tighten the god status at their "chair".... tightly... ~_~

around 930am, the festival started.
they lead by 3rd prince -- na zha
every god status have to hold by 2 person, 1 front, 1 behind
and they have to swing~ swing ~ swing~~~ from start to end..... (I hope the god wont vomit...)


and then, they will go around and around the village,
bringing the bless to the place they bypass
and you might see from the pic, besides 2 ppl who holding the chair,
there is still a lot of "staff" surrounding them...hmm, they are not
here for see noisy only, they got a special job....
to standby catch / stop / help those who "let the god in body" ppl
and of cuz, they are also next one who angkat the chair.... @_@ (good luck....)

i think i never walk so much for so long already....
that is y.... i am tired.....

Just wondering why thus ppl who carry the 'god chair' doesn't look like chinese? Btw i'm not racial. Just currious.

maybe....sun at Trusan is hot (and if they have to carry the chair surrounding the village every year, under the hot sun...) so, they all look a bit dark...

but they all are chinese la ~_~
