ON THE CENTRAL ALTAR ARE THE STATUES OF THE THREE FOUNDERS OF THE CLANS, AND ON BOTH SIDES, PICTURES REPRESENT THE DECEASED MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILIES? PAINTINGS DEPICTING WARRIORS FIGHTING LIONS, DRAGONS AND MYTHICAL CREATURES FRAME THE MAIN ALTAR. THE TEMPLE IS BOTH A SANCTUARY AND A COMMUNITY CENTER.
