Thousands Flock to Indonesian Volcano for Hindu Ritual Sacrifice

June 16, 2022, 08.22 PM

Legend has it their son willingly jumped into the volcano to guarantee the prosperity of the Tengger people.

The sacrifice tradition continues to this day, although the Tengger tribe sacrifices their harvest and farm animals instead of humans.

As local community chief Bambang lobbed his batch of crops into the volcanic crater, he prayed for harmonious relations between humans and God, nature, and their fellow human beings.

“If we take care of nature, it will take care of us as well,” he said.
