PANDANUS WAR ( Perang Pandan ) in Bali

The battle did not always bring the hostilities, particularly if the war was conducted as part of traditional ceremonies and has a value of devotion to the Almighty.
As well as a unique place in Bali which is a hereditary tradition of pandanus war

The tradition that fell right every June is preceded by ritual drinking and spilling wine. It's a symbol, they are ready to fight with fellow relatives and friends. After drinking wine, they challenge each other and fight. They do not look daunted even result in the body is injured. Pandanus war believed to be an offering to the god Indra or the God of War who have given their blessing
Despite their wounds, but they remain happy and feeling of brotherhood and unity still remains high despite previous have to carry the tradition of war.
