A Joss House is a place of worship for followers of Chinese folk religion and Taoism. These temples are dedicated to various deities, including ancestors and local gods, and serve as a space for rituals, offerings, and community gatherings. Typically adorned with colorful decorations and intricate carvings, Joss Houses can be found in areas with significant Chinese populations. They often feature altars where devotees present incense, food, and other offerings to honor the spirits and seek blessings for health, prosperity, and protection.
