Mebuug-Buugan Tradition, Mud War On The Island Of Bali, Indonesia.
A Balinese man smears his body with mud at the Kedonganan mangrove forest on the island of Bali, Indonesia, on March 21, 2026. The mud-smearing is part of a local tradition known as Mebuug-Buugan, symbolizing the cleansing of 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)
