[PHOTOS] Radiant joy, serene aura as Chinese New Year lights adorn Jenjarom temple

JENJAROM – As glowing lanterns are meant to bring good light and cheer upon the people during the Lunar New Year period, one Chinese temple has taken an especially big step in decorating its sprawling complex with hundreds of dazzling embellishments.

Signifying hope, happiness and peace, the multitudes of colourful displays at the FGS Dong Zen Temple in Kg Jenjarom, Selangor exude a radiant aura evoking feelings of contentment and spiritual placidity.

The decorations also feature a variety of floral patterns, all creatively designed and installed.

Besides providing a welcome space for visiting families and friends alike to joyfully uplift their bonds of kinship and fraternity, the temple’s atmosphere also lends a spontaneous deep serenity suitable for reflection and prayer.
