Watching Mekare-kare in person was one of the most fascinating cultural experiences we’ve had in Bali 🌿🤍 If you’re wondering what you’re actually watching, here are some quick answers: 📍 What is Mekare-kare? It’s a traditional ceremony held in Tenganan Village, one of Bali’s oldest Bali Aga villages. 📍 Why do they do it? The ceremony honours Dewa Indra, the Hindu god of war, and has been practised for generations. 📍 Can tourists attend? Yes! Visitors are welcome to watch and learn about the tradition respectfully. 📍 Where is it held? Tenganan Village, around 15 minutes from Candidasa in East Bali. This was one of those experiences that reminded me there is so much more to Bali than beaches and resorts.
