Tawur Kesanga Ritual Ahead Nyepi Celebration
Balinese Hindus are performing the Rejang Dewa dance, a sacred dance in the Balinese Hindu belief, as they participate in the Tawur Kesanga ritual at Parahyangan Agung Pasundan Temple in Bekasi Regency, West Java, on March 10, 2024. During the Tawur Kesanga ritual, Balinese Hindus are worshipping and parading Ogoh-ogoh, effigies that represent demons or bad traits, which will then be burned as a symbol of victory over evil. The Tawur Kesanga ritual is the final series of rituals before the Nyepi, or Balinese Day of Silence, which this year will be celebrated on March 11. (Photo by Aditya Irawan/NurPhoto)
