Adii in outfit of goddess Vishnu
On Tawur Kesanga, the day before the Balinese Nyepi, an actual exorcism ceremony is performed, in which Adii, my friend's daughter, masked, made up and disguised as the deity Vishnu, takes part in the procession in Bali.
Hindus worship Lord Vishnu as one of the main deities. It is believed that it is his power that protects the earth and sustains life on it.
Vishnu is the god of Preservation, the great maintainer who often appears in various incarnations (avatara) to provide salvation for humanity. Some of his best-known avatars, who are tremendously popular and beloved throughout Hindu India, are the gods Krishna and Rama.
The picture was taken after the masking in the municipality of Sembung in Bali in March 2016.
