Sellers around the Mountain
>> Aug 25, 2014
Happy Monday, happy new week to all! How’s
your weekend? I went no where, just stayed at home as I was not in good health;
but I’m much better today. I have no fever anymore.
I still feel a little headache, but it’s
not annoying. For Blue Monday this week, I’ll share my captures of
sellers around the Bromo Mountain (East Java, Indonesia). Only people from the local
tribe named Tengger who are allowed to earn a living from this tourist
destination by renting horses, selling stuffs, etc. Tengger people also have responsibility
to keep the mountain.

For
residents of Bromo (Tengger tribe), Mount Bromo believed to be a sacred
mountain. Once a year, they hold the ceremony Tengger Yadnya Kasada or Kasodo. The ceremony held at a temple
located at the foot of Mount Bromo and proceed north to the top of Mount Bromo.
It starts at midnight to early morning -every full moon around 14 or 15 in
Kasodo (tenth) according to the Javanese calendar. This year, 2014, the Kasodo
ceremony was already held at 11th August.
