The ‘Bakai Lighting’ ceremony is held at Nankunshen at noon on the fourth day of the first month of the new lunar year, after the gods of the temple have been formally welcomed. The ceremony is a divination ritual where the faithful draw lots. The one with the highest number has the honor of taking Lord Kailu home with him or her for seven days, returning the idol back to the temple in a ceremony held on the 11th.
