Every spring, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims join the nine-day, eight-night Dajia Mazu pilgrimage in Taiwan. As the palanquin arrives at a temple or temporary altar, colorful confetti fills the night sky while devotees gather in celebration, reflecting the enduring vitality, devotion, and cultural heritage of one of the world’s largest religious pilgrimages.
