Hungry Ghost Festival Celebrations In Malaysia

This picture taken on August 31, 2023, Malaysian Chinese people carry a paper-made ship 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)
