Kissing Festival in Bali
-
The kissing festival known as 'Omed-Omedan' is held annually, one day after Balinese Hindus celebrate the Nyepi Day of Silence. During the festival, Balinese youths gather first to pray, then to kiss and dance as spectators douse the teenagers with water. The festival is intended to fend off bad luck in the year ahead.
