The morning is spent eating traditional food, parading the deities effigies which are installed in palanquins and making offerings. In the afternoon a battle is held in which dozens of men carry the palanquins rushing around the temple in a trance like state, crashing into each other. -JP/Agung Parameswara/Adi/19
