Fire War – Nagi, Ubud The young men of Nagi, a small village near Ubud, welcome Nyepi and the Balinese Caka new year with a spectacular perang api, a “fire war”. They walk and dance through piles of burning coconut husk, challenging and throwing balls of fire at each other.
I was very fortunate to be able to attend a very rare large purification ceremony, Karya Agung Panca Wali Krama, at the Pura Samuan Tiga temple in Bedulu, near Ubud. This ceremony was last held about 20 years ago and preparations had started more than 6 months ago.
