A selfie by the fabulous multi- handed figure in the Gua Perak/ Perak Tong cave temple

            A selfie against the fabulous multi handed Taoist mythological figure inside the Gua Perak/ Perak Tong cave temple in Ipoh, Malaysia. I was wondering how Taoist mythological figures are also depicted with in a multi- handed form just like some of the gods in Hinduism. But I digress- probably the largest single cave temple in Ipoh, apart from the massive 40 foot Buddha house in the cave (see previous pictures earlier in this album), the Gua Perak/ Perak Tong cave temple also has several golden Taoist mythological figures spread all around the cave- this one is one of the dozens in the cave. These Taoist figures, coupled with the large 40 foot Buddha in this cave gives the impression that this cave is a mix of two faiths-Buddhism and Taoism. Notes about the Gua Perak/ Perak Tong cave temple appear elsewhere in this album. (see previous and subsequent images). (Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia, Sept. 2023)
