Melasty Ceremony In Palu, Central Sulawesi
A Hindu caretaker is bringing holy water from the sea to be used at the Melasti prayer ritual in Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, on March 10, 2024. The Melasti ceremony, held the day before Nyepi Day of the 1945 Saka New Year, is to raise awareness of the Gods as a manifestation of God Almighty, to wash away people's suffering, eliminate sins, and prevent damage to nature.
