Largest Display of Deities’ Paper Robes. Listed in the Singapore Book of Records 09.07.2024

During the birthday celebration period of Sheng Hong Deity, devotees of Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple donated a total of 3631 sets of deity robes, setting a new Singapore record of the ‘Largest Display & Burning of Deities’ Paper Robes’. The president of the Singapore Book of Records Mr Ong Gim Huat presented the certificate to the temple.

In popular beliefs, people believed that deity robes are clothes of the deities. Donating of deity robes is a way to express gratitude to receive blessings from the deities. Usually made from paper, the robes are designed to look similar to those worn by emperors and generals in order to reflect their status.

Deity robes offered by Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple include Sheng Hong Deity robe, Lady of Sheng Hong robe, Jade Emperor robe, 8^th General robe, 9^th General robe, Tiger Lord robe, God of Wealth robe, Deity of Love and Marriage robe, Tai Sui of the year robe and all of the deities situated in the temple. Registration starts roughly around the Lunar new year and ends after Sheng Hong deity’s birthday – which will be burned altogether.
