Hungry Ghost Festivals In Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - AUGUST 06: A woman throws prayer paper on to the fire during the Hungry Ghost Festival on August 6, 2016 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Hungry Ghost Festival falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. According to traditional Chinese belief, the seventh month in the lunar calendar is when restless spirits roam the earth. Many Chinese people make efforts to appease these transient ghosts, while feeding their own ancestors particularly on the 15th day, which is the Yu Lan or Hungry Ghost Festival.
