Communal River Bathing Marks Ramadan Preparations In Tangerang, Indonesia
Residents gather along the Cisadane River to take part in the traditional ''keramas'' ritual in Tangerang, Banten Province, Indonesia, on February 17, 2026, ahead of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. The communal bathing ceremony, held annually by local communities, symbolizes spiritual and physical purification before the start of fasting. In predominantly Muslim Indonesia, various local traditions mark the lead-up to Ramadan, blending religious observance with cultural heritage. Participants in the keramas ritual bathe together in the Cisadane River, offer prayers, and seek blessings as they prepare to observe a month of fasting. (Photo by Agoes Rudianto/NurPhoto)
