A factory in Taiwan could be the answer to a prayer, building ready-made temples which can be delivered to customers in just weeks.  

The plant in Pingtung county makes up to 20 temples at a time complete with the desired deities also cast in concrete.

The factory employs about 100 people, many of whom are local farmers coming in part time. 

One of thetemples can cost anything from $1250 to more than $62,000.

For that the structure's not just ready-made but delivered to the customer's doorstep and installed on site. 

The temples are now being exported to Taiwanese nationals abroad keen to take some of their native culture to their new homes elsewhere in Asia.
