Worshippers carrying statues of local deities wade into the sea in Budai Township, Chiayi County, Tuesday. The religious ritual, said to be over a century old, is held annually on the 27th day of the third month on the Chinese lunar calendar to welcome deities thought to descend from the heavens to gather there.
