[Oyama-dera Five-Platform Goma 2025]
At Oyama-dera, on the grand festival day of February 28, the only Five-Platform Goma ascetic ritual in Japan was performed.
The sacred flames rose together on five goma platforms as prayers for the worshippers’ wishes were ritually empowered.✨
The crackling fire, the chanting sutras, and the pounding taiko drums combined into a breathtaking prayer service that left everyone holding their breath in awe…!
The solemn flames🔥 and the otherworldly scene woven by sutra recitation and drumbeats felt like a cleansing for the heart!
