Lord Garan Kalan Ma Our Lady of Heaven in Changhua Land public The mighty power is for the local host

Establishment history: The origin of enshrining King Kalan in this realm is long, and he is the protector of the city god, who specializes in punishing evil and discerning right from wrong. The golden body of Lord Kalan, enshrined in this temple, was carried by the ancestors when they crossed Taiwan from Fujian. It was first enshrined in a private house, but the incense became more and more popular, and the believers gradually increased. After public discussion, the temple was built on the current site for the first time in 1717 (Kangxi 56 years). It was rebuilt in 1750 (15th year of Qianlong), and has been renovated many times since then. In the early Guangxu period, the gods were famous for manifestation. When believers went to Changhua’s Mazu Temple for incense, the leader Weng Kaiyun was arrested halfway through the chaos of the incense formation. Finally released. Believers are more religious. In 1897 (the 30th year of the Meiji period), Liao Suan, Liao Xinfan, and Liao Dewu initiated the dove gold and rebuilt the temple. In 1915 (the 4th year of the Taisho era), Liao Dewu still advocated building the temple appearance. In 1930 (Showa 5) Lin Huolun, Liao Zhong, Liao Yuhe, Zhang Long, Liao Wanzhang, etc. established a board of directors to rebuild the temple. In 1949 (the 38th year of the Republic of China), at the age of Xi Chou, the administrator Wang Shunli; the temple wished Chen Yuan and initiated fund-raising for the first repair after the war. In 1971 (the 60th year of the Republic of China), Chen De, Liao Zhongkun, Liao Shen, and Wang Shunli advocated gold paint inside and outside, and the belly wall oil painting was completely new. The temple has been established for 156 years. The temple has been repaired and repaired repeatedly, and it has remained intact so far, and the significance of the gods has not diminished. As of 1982 (Republic of China in 1971), due to the fact that it had been in disrepair, the adobe and clay were dilapidated, and the area was small. Every time the celebration was insufficient to accommodate many faithful people, a management committee was organized and the resolution was decided to demolish and rebuild. Liao Zhongkun, chairman of the second management committee, etc. will carry out the preparatory work. The ground was officially broken on November 21 of the lunar calendar in 1985, and the construction was completed on November 7 of the lunar calendar in 83 years. The total investment was more than 20 million NT dollars. Beautiful temple appearance. Xiluo was formerly called Luoyang. The ancestors used agriculture as their business. Lord Garan was the guardian god who brought him from his hometown, and he had a spiritual stability for the ancestors. He was worshipped as the main god for drinking water and thinking about the source. The accompaniment to the God of Our Lady of the Heavens was when the Mother of Heaven in Nanyao Palace of Changhua in the Qing Dynasty traveled around the territory, and stayed at the Resident Rest of the Palace. This is the origin of the connection between the temple and Nanyao Palace.
