22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Walking With Our Deity

During the celebration event of a local temple in Sibu Malaysia, representatives from all other temples in the region sent teams to march on the closed-off street parade and performing acts along the way. The scene captured believers from one of the regional temples carrying their respective deity on a palanquin while sprinting through the street with high energy.
