The photograph captures the vibrant moment of the E’ge (costumed float) parade organized by Tiangong Temple in Taiwan. This centuries-old tradition transforms the streets into a living stage where deities, historical figures, and folk characters ride illuminated floats, while thousands of devotees raise their hands in awe and joy. It is not only a display of faith but also a unique form of cultural storytelling that blends religion, performance, and community.
