Yadnya Kasada - Offerings Made to Mount Bromo

Known as Kasada, this is well known through the Tenggerese network in East Java. Based on the Hindu lunar calendar, this Indonesian pageant is held on the 14th day of the Kasada month every year. According to nearby legends, a childless couple had been blessed with 24 kids through the gods upon praying at Mount Bromo, at the circumstance that they sacrifice their twenty fifth toddler to the volcano. Some versions of the legend advocate that the couple refused, and the volcano erupted, taking the kid with it. Every year, locals and travelers take the adventure as much as Mount Bromo and provide sacrifices like goats, flowers, vegetables, or even money. Other courageous people climb into the crater to get hold of those goods, thinking about the services as a signal of appropriate luck.
