I See Fire. ManButur Suantara shares his experience and photography of the Ter-Teran fire ritual in the village of Jasri, Karangasem Bali on March 21st 2023. The full account and series of works by ManButur Suantara is published online at sawidjistudio.com/2023/03/31/i-see-fire/

This ritual is known as Ter-Teran held in the village of Jasri in Karangasem Regency Bali. This ritual is held to keep the evil spirits away so that the silent day of Nyepi will be able to pass peacefully, quietly and with blessing...

Ter Teran is held only once every two years. and this is spontaneous without staging or planning. In other villages, this type of fire war enactment is ritualised whereas the process is a little bit more free-flowing, here in Ter Teran in Jasri. The atmosphere is truly mystical. It is not something planned or scripted. There are not many tourists as this is not a common attraction. There is a wildness about it. It does not look like a demonstration set up to cater to an audience. The sacred energy of this ritual still feels very strong.

Saya melihat api. ManButur Suantara berbagi pengalaman dan fotografi ritual api Ter-Teran di Desa Jasri, Karangasem Bali pada 21 Maret 2023. Akun lengkap dan rangkaian karya ManButur Suantara dipublikasikan secara online di sawidjistudio.com/2023/03/31 /saya melihat api/

Ritual ini dikenal dengan Ter-Teran yang diadakan di desa Jasri di Kabupaten Karangasem Bali. Ritual ini diadakan untuk mengusir roh jahat agar hari hening Nyepi dapat berlalu dengan damai, tenang dan penuh berkah...

Ter Teran diadakan hanya sekali setiap dua tahun. dan ini spontan tanpa pementasan atau perencanaan. Di desa lain, jenis perang api ini diritualkan sedangkan prosesnya sedikit lebih bebas, di sini di Ter Teran di Jasri. Suasananya benar-benar mistis. Itu bukan sesuatu yang direncanakan atau ditulis. Tidak banyak turis karena ini bukan daya tarik umum. Ada keliaran tentang itu. Itu tidak terlihat seperti demonstrasi yang disiapkan untuk melayani penonton. Energi suci dari ritual ini masih terasa sangat kuat.
