Hungry Ghost Festival Celebrations In Malaysia
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, Malaysia, on September 7, 2025. 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.
