The *Ghost Festival*, widely observed in Asian cultures, involves rituals to honor and appease the spirits of deceased ancestors. Traditionally held in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, families prepare offerings of food, incense, and joss paper. These acts symbolize respect and remembrance, as well as the belief in the interconnectedness between the living and the *spirit world*. Festivals often feature public events, including operas and performances, to entertain wandering spirits. The observance reflects deep cultural values surrounding death, familial ties, and the importance of heritage.
