MALAYSIA-CULTURE-GHOST-FESTIVAL

In this picture taken late September 12, 2017, an ethnic Malaysian-Chinese devotee throws mock currency to be burned by a paper statue of Chinese deity 'Da Shi Ye', or Guardian God of Ghosts, to mark the Hungry Ghost Festival in Kuala Lumpur. The festival, celebrated in the seventh lunar month of the lunar new year calendar among communities in southern China, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan, marks the belief that the 'Gates of Hell' are opened to let out the hungry ghosts who then wander in the land of the living while foraging for food. During the festival, food offerings are made while paper money and joss sticks are burnt outside homes to keep the spirits of dead ancestors happy and to bring good luck. / AFP PHOTO / MANAN VATSYAYANA (Photo credit should read MANAN VATSYAYANA/AFP via Getty Images)
