BALI PANDAN FIGHT
This is the Story from the Tenganan Village at Bali. The makare-kare or pandan fight to honour the god of war "Indra". They use a 20-30cm leaf from the pandanus as a "Sword". It is an old tradition and is a part of full moon ceremony. Many celebrations and ceremonies are around the day of the fight and the days before and after. It was a great time to stay at tenganan with very friendly villagers and pleasant encounters. Many thanks to Nyoman Puri for his warm hospitality and giving the opportunity to document the celebrations, thank you to Nyoman Giriarta for his friendly welcome
