Kamunting's Wild Boar Temple.

When temples elsewhere in India are famous for its monkey and rat
and tiger in Thailand,
we in Malaysia have ours too,
the Kamunting's Om Sakthi Sri Jada Muneesvaran Alayam Temple
famous for its wild boar by night and jungle fowl during the daytime
to add on to the Penang Snake Temple.



They are fed with sardine rice which is sold there
and visitors will normally rub their money on the body for good luck.

The young priest of the temple.

The volunteers who help control the boars
sort of boar control if not it will be mayhem.

It is not crowded on a weekday.

You don't simply call a pig lazy,
asleep only after being scratch with a stick.

As you can see the wild boar lives in the hill beside the temple
which is rapidly being developed,
in future we might not see these sight anymore,
it will become like the Snake Temple in Penang
which lost its surrounding jungles to development.
