The Taoists in Penang Island consider those snakes as holy snakes... those snakes are venomous... but are heavily drugged too... they seems so sleepy

thanks for all the pix and info. i know there is a buddhist temple in thailand that keeps vipers, and i think some hindus worship a snake god.
as for the above, most snakes, if they are well fed, spend a great deal of their time sleeping so they probably do not drug them.
the snake farm part sounds cool!
i love snakes, but i must say i do not worship them! :giggling:

they might not be drugged ..but they really looks like they're on drugs!!
Maybe because of the smokes from the altars.

It`s the main entrance to the Hui Culture Park, on the suburbs of Yinchuan city, not far from the Najiahu village. It shows how far are the aspirations of modern Hui elites from the "old" Hui culture. In fact this building has little to do with traditional Hui-ness.

.

.
The theme park, which covers 20 ha of land, is intended to showcase the Muslim lifestyle of the Hui ethnic group numbering more than two million people in Ningxia. The park contains a museum of Hui culture, a hall for 'Hui rituals', and miniatures of famous mosques in China.
China's largest park to display traditional culture and customs of Hui ethnic group is located in Yinchuan, the capital city of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. It took three years and cost 80 million yuan (US$9.9 million) to build the park.
Work on the park's main structures, in a Muslim style, has been completed.
The museum, the first with a history of Hui ethnic group as the theme, will display 500 exhibits of the group's cultural relics. Ningxia has 2.06 million people of Hui nationality, making up a quarter of the national total.​

the Shah Jahan Mosque, Woking - the oldest purpose built mosque in the UK (from 1889.)


The chapel at Royal Holloway College, where I used to work.

Interestingly, Royal Holloway was created as a non religious college (most colleges in those days were run by either the Church of England, the Catholic church or the Scottish Kirk). Amongst the figures it has depicted on the outside of the college it has religious figures, including Jesus, Buddha, Confucious...and Mohamet.

Since this thread in vites pictures of holy places from other religions too, may I post pictures from a recently discovered cave, which archeologists believe may have been a place for meeting and worshipping for the very early Christians.
