Young Chinese Malaysians light candles during the Lantern Festival
in Kuala Lumpur September 18, 2005. The Lantern Festival is
celebrated by the Chinese on the fifteenth day of the eighth month
of the Chinese lunar calendar, with children go out at night
carrying bright lanterns. In ancient times the lanterns were fairly
simple, with only the emperor and noblemen had large ornate ones.
But in modern times, lanterns have been embellished with many
complex designs, such as in shapes of animals. REUTERS/Bazuki
