During this month, given that the ghostly gate is opened, the main altar is arrayed with over 60 sacred Dipper lanterns, bushels filled with white rice, rulers representing safe passage through good times and bad, a balance, a demon-dispelling sword, a spirit mirror, and other exorcistic implements. These symbolic objects are used to safeguard those involved in the pudu rites.
