This headquarters of the Cao Dai religion was founded in 1926. As the temple (or church) is located in the village of Tay Ninh, it is also often called the Tay Ninh Holy See.
The vast interior of the Cao Dai Holy See is ornate, and painted in bring yellow, organge, green and pink. The supporting columns have dragon motifs, reminiscent of Taoist temples. The religion venerates Buddha as well as Jesus Christ. God in the religion is symbolized by the Divine Eye, specifically the left eye.
At the temple you can see devotees in their white attire while members of the clergy in colorful costumes. Light comes in from the stained-glass windows decoracted with the motif of the Divine Eye.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
