"The 'bombarding of the palanquin' during the Beigang Mazu Procession is one of Taiwan’s most iconic folk religious events, renowned for its intense firecracker displays. As Mazu’s palanquin passes by local residences, people set off massive amounts of firecrackers directly underneath it—either to pray for peace and protection or to express their gratitude for Mazu’s blessings."
