[bali-bali] Expressing Gratitude, Responsibility, and Wish in Gumang Temple

Every two years, exactly on full moon on Sasih Kapat (the fourth month on traditional Caka calendar), people from four villages in Karangasem, East of Bali, shoulder hundreds of giant roasted pig, walk on the rocky sloping land, while withstanding from the attack of burning sun light to reach Gumang Temple on Juru Hill's peak. It seems as a punishment but in fact it is not. It is their own way to express their gratitude of all the blessings they have got, the responsibility as the parents, and wish for the existence of fertile land.
