Ethnic Chinese burn joss sticks and
candles during the Chinese Hungry Ghost Festival in Puchong, Malaysia.
The Hungry Ghost Festival is celebrated during the seventh month of the
Chinese lunar calendar, when prayers are offered to the dead and
offerings of food and paper-made models of earthly items such as
televisions, refrigerators and sport cars are burnt to appease the
wandering spirits. It is believed that the gates of hell are opened
during the month and the dead ancestors return to visit their relatives.
