Celebrating Tumpek Landep

I captured the photo during the last Tumpek Landep festival in the village I live in Mengwi on Bali.
My hosts Ni Made Mayasari and Gek Suzan Widiastuti were blessing their motorbikes for this ceremony.
Nowadays Tumpek Landep is a ceremonial day at which offerings are made for objects that are made of metal. The ceremonies start in the morning hours at the village temple when people gather for special prayers and blessings. Afterwards, at the home compounds, additional ceremonies and blessings follow at which offerings are made for the holy family keris that most families own, but also for cars and motorbikes.
