A dragon dance along a street as devotees process with deities through the streets of central Ipoh, Malaysia on the 5th day of the Nine Emperor Gods Festival, Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014. The festival is a nine-day Taoist celebration to mark the birth of the Nine Emperor Gods from the first day to the ninth day of the ninth moon in Chinese Lunar Calender. The origin of the Nine Emperor Gods (stars of the Northern constellation) can be traced back to the Taoist worship of the Northern constellation during Qin and Han Dynasty and absorb this practice of worshipping the stars and began to deitify them as Gods.
