The temple is filled with the smoke of burning incense and a variety of pit vipers. The vipers are believed to be rendered harmless by the sacred smoke, but as a safety precaution, the snakes have also been de-venomed but still have their sangs intact, visitors are warned against picking up the reptiles and  placing them on their bodies for taking pictures. Local devotees  believe that the temple's snake population has come there of its own  accord.The temple was built circa 1850 in memory of Chor Soo Kong, by a Buddhist monk who  moved to Penang. Chor Soo Kong was born with the Tan surname in China  during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). He was very serious about spiritual  attainment and was ordained at a young age. Legend has it that Chor Soo  Kong, who was also a healer, gave shelter to the snakes of jungle. When  he died at the age of 65 after a lifetime of good deeds, he was bestowed  the honorific title Chor Soo, meaning an eminent historic figure  continuously revered by a community generation after generation. After  the completion of the temple, snakes appeared on their own accord. The  Snake Temple was originally named the "Temple of the Azure Cloud" in  honor of the beauty of Penang's sky.Believers from as far away as Singapore and Taiwan come to pray in the temple on Chor Soo Kong's birthday (the sixth day of the first lunar month).<img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuA6UK-t3I/AAAAAAABXB4/jcWOfY2a33Q/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuA6DzLWtI/AAAAAAABXBw/3Y3ZGkeJHvM/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuA5x7wOqI/AAAAAAABXBo/IMC90Kby-z0/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuA5T1C1aI/AAAAAAABXBg/ySHRW6SeGa8/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuA44Ng-NI/AAAAAAABXBY/b7EL8zmMZT8/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_06.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAtNhT9uI/AAAAAAABXBQ/iGCnAK7B6wo/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_07.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAst_lggI/AAAAAAABXBI/P94dU4DnoSA/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_08.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAsfSnTxI/AAAAAAABXBA/amJNS66wL9I/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_09.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAr7CrhVI/AAAAAAABXA4/1fxzxPCw2Nw/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuArh6JFSI/AAAAAAABXAw/RrCC264f5-c/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAfSSvLBI/AAAAAAABXAo/3K9gUtEpGhs/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAe6lTouI/AAAAAAABXAg/cPc7ehevmKw/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAefF6KxI/AAAAAAABXAY/0iHGg2y7buA/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAeBxLS9I/AAAAAAABXAQ/OTbi27Lulj4/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_15.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAVlfsXqI/AAAAAAABXAA/fCOKdgG8TT0/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_17.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAVMRHcCI/AAAAAAABW_4/q9Eu4qZZhKA/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAUvrtx5I/AAAAAAABW_w/_KxkF7MUwR4/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_19.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAUAIDKiI/AAAAAAABW_o/aHkizOoJk0k/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_20.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAT3vHELI/AAAAAAABW_g/I4zBh_yZavI/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAKau9cOI/AAAAAAABW_Y/tiwrxsIolFQ/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_22.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAJl7nHlI/AAAAAAABW_Q/P155B023yA4/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_23.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAJfYsiTI/AAAAAAABW_I/n27ymdOU7bI/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_24.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAI9fdPII/AAAAAAABW_A/UclnYDVuXyo/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_25.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/TBuAIWGzs3I/AAAAAAABW-4/gVvbojQxZ9Q/s1600/Snake_Temple_Malaysia_26.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />REP+ DENNA HONDE... <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" /></blockquote>
