Wu Lei Gong Temple aka Ghor Lui Kong Beo, located at Bukit Batok St 21 (Ave 6).
Main Deity that this Temple honoured is Wu Lei Gong/Wu Lei Xian Shi (五雷仙師) aka Five Thunder Lord. In the main Hall, that's the only statue that you can find.
But once you go into the rear hall, you will be able to see quite a number of Deities being placed on 3 separate Altars. On the 1 that is nearer to the entrance from the main Hall is dedicated to Xi Fang San Sheng (西方三聖) - Amitabha (阿彌陀佛), Guan Shi Yin (觀世音) & Da Shi Zhi (大勢至), Di Zang Wang (地藏王), Cheng Huang (城隍) and some Thai Deities.
The 1 next to the Buddhist Altar is being dedicated to Yu Huang San Tai Zi (玉皇三太子), Wu Lu Niang Niang (五路娘娘 the same statue that you can see in Ling Yun Dian 凌雲殿 in Geylang Lor 27A), Zhang Tian Shi (張天師), Ma Zu (媽祖), Li Na Zha (李哪吒), etc.
On the last Altar, you will be able to see a very RARE & Unique set of statues that dedicated to Qi Xian Nv aka The 7 Maidens of Xi Wang Mu (七仙女).
For those who like to see and find out more on RARE Deities & statues, this is one of the Temples that you shall visit.

ReplyDeleteYup, in folks belief, yes.
ReplyDeleteIn Chinese Deity System, there no a Deity known as Yu Huang San Tai Zi, this only appear in folks culture.
