Bats' Cave Temple
Jalan Pokok Ceri | Air Itam, Georgetown, Penang Island, MalaysiaAbout
Bat Cave Temple for the first time in the company of an expatriate Mat Salleh who brought me there. Although I have heard of the temple before, this was the first time I visited it (yeah, there are many places in Penang I haven't visited yet, okay) It is one of the many temples dedicated to the worship of Tua Pek Kong, the local god of prosperity. The average worshipper might not be able to tell you who Tua Pek Kong is, other than he worships the deity for well-being and prosperity. To trace the origin of Tua Pek Kong, refer to the Tanjong Tokong Tua Pek Kong Temple, which is the mother temple of all Tua Pek Kong temples in the country.
