PONNAGYUN, MYANMAR (AFP) – In predawn darkness in western Myanmar thousands of devotees scramble to the top of a mountain said to be home to a spirit guarding 500 mythical ducks to mark the Tazaungdaing festival of light.

The full-moon that marks the end of the rainy season is celebrated across Buddhist-majority Myanmar in explosions of colour, with fireworks, lanterns and hot air balloons.

Celebrations have been muted this year, with much of the country in uprising against the February coup and escalating violence between junta troops and dissidents.
