Tengger Traditions in Tosari

The Ogoh-ogoh procession is part of the Tawur Kesanga ritual observed by Hindus before the Nyepi festival; Anca’an is the Selamatan Desa Tosari. These names refer to different cultural contexts: a local motif, an opening ceremony, a procession connected with a ritual, and the name Anca’an for Selamatan Desa Tosari. Those interested in the area’s culture will find several distinct terms here, each associated with its own context.
