Chao Mae Lim Ko Niew's palanquin crossing the river
Leng Xu Giang shrine is the abode of the Goddess Chao Mae Lim Ko Niew. The shrine is located on Norhu Road, Muang District of Pattani Province. Each year on the full moon of the 3rd Lunar month (15 days after Chinese New Year), a grand celebration is held to honor her. People from all over who respect and believe in the Goddess gather to pay homage.
In the reign of King Rama V, a leader of the Chinese community named Phra Jeen Kananurak commissioned a Chinese craftsman to make a statue of the Goddess Chao Mae Lim Ko Niew from mango wood. At the same time, the Leng Xu Giang shrine was built. The reputation of Goddess gradually spread and became a focus of worship for the people of Pattani, other neighboring towns and even visitors from other Asian countries.
