Mebuug-Buugan Tradition, Mud War On The Island Of Bali, Indonesia.
Balinese children smear mud on their bodies at the Kedonganan mangrove forest on the island of Bali, Indonesia, on March 21, 2026. This is part of a local tradition known as Mebuug-Buugan, where the mud-smearing symbolizes cleansing oneself from negative energy and expressing gratitude to nature. This celebration follows Nyepi, a 24-hour day of silence observed by Hindus on the island. (Photo by Muhammad Fauzy/NurPhoto)
