Hungry Ghost Festival Celebrations In Malaysia
This picture taken on August 31, 2023, Malaysian Chinese people burn a giant paper statue of the Chinese deity ''Da Shi Ye'' or ''Guardian God of Ghosts'' during the Chinese Hungry Ghost Festival in Kuala Lumpur. According to Taoist and Buddhist beliefs, the seventh month of the Chinese Lunar calendar, known as the Hungry Ghost Festival is when the Gates of Hell open to let out spirits who wander the land of the living looking for food. Food offerings are made while paper money and joss sticks are burnt to keep the spirits of dead ancestors happy and to bring good luck. (Photo by Mohd Firdaus/NurPhoto)
