Bat Trang Mother Temple

Bat Trang Mother Temple (address at Bat Trang Hamlet, Bat Trang Commune) is a city-level relic under Decision No. 1120/QD-UBND dated March 9, 2009. Located in Bat Trang Hamlet, the temple is a long-standing center for the practice of the Mother Goddess worship of the Three Palaces and Four Palaces by local people, a clear testament to the adaptation and strong development of Mother Goddess worship in the spiritual life of residents of the river port and riverside craft village. The structure has a small but solemn traditional architecture with forbidden chambers dedicated to the Holy Mother, and a system of worship statues skillfully carved and splendidly lacquered in vermilion and gilded. Bat Trang Mother Temple preserves many ritual objects and ancient inscriptions with profound dates, reflecting the people's aspirations for favorable weather, national peace and prosperity, good harvests, and favorable ceramic trade. The relic is always maintained with incense by the management board and local people all year round, and traditional mediumship rituals are organized according to proper rites, contributing to the preservation of intangible cultural values and enriching the heritage system of the overall Bat Trang cultural industry area.
