Perang Tipat Bantal (Aci Rah Pengangon)
15 October 2027. Pura Desa Adat Kapal, Mengwi, Badung
Held every year on the full moon of the fourth lunar month (Purnama Kapat) outside Pura Desa in Kapal village, Mengwi, Perang Tipat Bantal is a joyful thanksgiving ritual for agricultural fertility. After temple prayers, hundreds of villagers gather on the street to toss woven coconut-leaf rice packets (tipat) and glutinous rice cakes (bantal) at one another, symbolising the union of masculine (purusa) and feminine (pradana) life forces.
