Tianhou, also known as the Goddess of Heaven, is a revered figure in Chinese folklore and maritime culture. She is primarily worshipped by fishermen and sailors, who seek her protection and blessings for safe voyages. Tianhou is often associated with the sea and is believed to guide and safeguard those who travel on water. The most famous temple dedicated to Tianhou is the Mazu Temple in Taiwan, which attracts many devotees. Her legend is rooted in the story of a young girl named Mazu, who is said to have saved her father and others from storms at sea, leading to her deification as a protective goddess.
