The Phuket vegetarian Festival 2018 will be held from October 9-17.
Around the shrine, areas such as the floor, shrine entrance and statues were cleaned while metal artefacts including vases, incense burners and candlestick holders were polished.
In the kitchen, which will be used to prepare vegetarian food for the entire nine days of the festival, all kitchenware such as frying pans, plates and bowls, condiment sets and cooking utensil were thoroughly cleaned to ensure they were not contaminated as per vegetarian festival rules.
