Rousing farewell for deities

AFTER offering prayers and observing a vegetarian diet for nine days, it was time for devotees to send the Kew Ong Yeah (Nine Emperor Gods) back to heaven.

They burned joss papers and lit joss sticks for the deities at various temples on the Penang island and mainland.
