Bromo Tengger Semeru N.P.

A steep staircase leads to the rim of the crater. During two days people come and go, climb the staircase , arrive at the rim and make their offerings.


People gather around the area round every year (June or July) in the Bromo Volcano to join the so called Yadnya Kasada which festival is celebrated by the Hindu Tenggerese people, an ethnic group in Eastern Java. These people go to Mount Bromo to make offerings to the Gods to thank them for the good harvest. Fruits, vegetables, flowers, rice, money, chicken, and livestock are thrown into the volcano's caldera. Local people believe that this ritual will give them blessings and protection from their gods and ancestors.

C’est incroyable tout ce monde montant et descendant cet escalier si raide pour honorer de leurs offrandes cette cérémonie.

Looks like a lot of steps in this nicely composed image. The crowds adds energy to this rugged landscape while your caption provides fascinating context for this location. Images related to different cultures are really interesting. Very nicely done. VV++
