Exorcist in Indonesia leads massive procession of colourful rickshaws in ancient ritual

  • 5 years ago
An exorcism rite was held in the city of Padang, western Indonesia, with dozens of coloured rickshaws running behind a procession marching through the streets in this amazing video.

The ritual was performed on October 23 to deter disaster, with offerings being burnt while prayers are made.

This ritual ends with a local leader entering sanctified waters which are considered sacred by the local community.

After the holy water is put into a vessel, a number of people scrambled to grab some to be bathed in, because it is believed to cure diseases and provide benefits.
