Tian Hock Kung

Tian Hock Kung
A Snake Temple in Klang!
Located at Jalan Tepi Sungai, Taman Teluk Pulai.
A huge Taoist temple with about 60 striking snake sculptures all over.

The main deity here is Er Fu Gong. 

I so wanted to carry the bigger albino snake but was not allowed. They gave me this 5-6 year baby snake instead.

Main deity ~ Er Fu Gong

He is one of three sworn brothers celebrated for defeating an evil serpent that terrorised a village in Fujian during the Song Dynasty.
According to legend, the villagers built a temple inside the cave where the battle took place to honour Er Fu Gong and his brothers for their selfless act following their ascension as deities.
