Cap Go Meh Celebration In Jakarta
Members of the Dayak tribe from the island of Kalimantan are performing as Tatung, piercing their cheeks with steel rods and scratching various traditional sharp weapons on their bodies during the Cap Go Meh celebration in Jakarta, Indonesia, on February 24, 2024. Tatung is an ancient art, believed to ward off bad spirits that may affect people's lives, and is part of the Cap Go Meh festival, which is celebrated on the 15th day of the Chinese New Year, marking the end of the festivities.
