Colorful Tradition Of Ngerebeg In Bali
A Balinese child with a painted body is praying as they participate in the Ngerebeg tradition in Tegallalang Village, Bali, Indonesia, on April 3, 2024. Ngerebeg is a ritual aimed at driving away misfortune and evil spirits from the village. The locals believe that by conducting this ritual, their neighborhood will be protected from both physical and mythical plagues. The ritual is quite colorful, with teenagers and children dressing up with colorful paint and decorated ornaments that resemble astral beings as they pray and march around the village.
