Balinese children smear mud on their bodies at the Kedonganan mangrove forest on the island of Bali, Indonesia, on March 21, 2026. The local tradition, known as Mebuug-Buugan, symbolizes cleansing oneself from negative energy and expressing gratitude to nature. This celebration follows Nyepi, a 24-hour day of silence observed by Hindus on the island. (Photo by Muhammad Fauzy/NurPhoto)
