Kesiman, Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. 23rd Apr, 2017. Balinese woman in a trance during the self stabbing ritual (Sakral) at the Pengerebongan Ceremony. This ritual takes place every 210 days on the Balinese Hindu Saka calendar which entails prayers and offerings at the Temple, a parade of mythological characters and men and women in trance with some men attempting to pierce their skin with a traditional Keris (knife), fortunately nobody gets hurt at this incredible Balinese Ceremony at Pura Petilan Temple, Denpasar, Indonesia.
