Siat Sampian

Siat Sampian or young coconut leaf war is an oldest and unique tradition in Bali, which is usually held in the Samuan Tiga Temple, but I photograph this tradition at the Gianyar Art Festival a few months ago. Normally this tradition started with surrounding the area of Samuan Tiga Temple as much 18 times, divided into five rounds with different movements then the women [ premas ] and man [ parekan ] broke away to pray after that they take a young coconut leaf and started this unique ritual, the purpose of this ritual is a overview to the people that sense of togetherness is the solution to resolve conflicts between people
