Special Event in Tenganan Pegringsingan

Usaba Kelima/Sambah

“Maling - malingan”, special event (maling means thief), when two young men representing their respective group steal some meat available at the Bale Agung. When they two finally captured by the villagers after being chased a couple of time then dressed up with old banana, leaves clothes, flower, cow’s bell as necklace, etc and then carried along the village roads (as to show that not forgiveness for criminals). This funny and cheerful event finally ended up with Abwang Dance performed by the maidens at Petemu. Mekare - kare (duel between group of young men each armed with two pieces of thorny pandanous leaves and pleated rattan as the armor), held at the Bale Agung at 16.00 hrs.
