Balinese Hindus Take Part In Fire Fight Ritual Lukat Gni Ahead Of Nyepi Day Of Silence
A Balinese man is hit with burning dried coconut leaves during a fire fight ritual called Lukad Gni as pengerupukan ceremony at Klungkung, Bali, Indonesia March 2, 2022. The pengerupukan ceremony, held ahead of Nyepi Day celebrations, is a unique ritual in which devotees "fight" each other with fire. The Puri Satria Kawan community believes that the Lukat Gni ritual is conducted to purify the microcosmos (bhuana alit) and macrocosmos (bhuana agung), which is believed to neutralize negative energy and maintain the universe's harmony.
