Hungry Ghost Festival Celebrations - Indonesia

Ethnic-Chinese Indonesians arrange offerings for their ancestors' souls during the "hungry ghost" festival on September 6, 2025, in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The Hungry Ghost Festival is celebrated annually in the seventh lunar month according to Chinese beliefs, when prayers are offered to the dead and offerings of food and paper replicas of objects such as televisions and cars are burned. This signifies the belief that the Gates of Hell are opened to release hungry ghosts, who then wander the world of the living in search of food deemed in need of respect and appeasement. These offerings are made to keep the spirits of deceased ancestors happy and bring good luck and prosperity. Photo by Albert Ivan Damanik/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
