This photograph was taken during the “Qing An Qi Chao” ceremony at Dajia Jenn Lann Temple. The lantern in the center, bearing the inscription “Lantern for Lost Souls,” serves as a guiding light for wandering spirits without ancestral worship. A traditional bamboo sieve at the top adds a distinctive folk element to the composition. Set against the dark night sky, the lantern’s warm glow and the subtle red hues of the surrounding lanterns create a layered, atmospheric scene that reflects the compassionate spirit of Taiwanese folk religion.
