Balinese villagers stab ceremonial daggers into their chests - PHOTO+VIDEO

Men parade with ceremonial daggers, called 'keris', dance and chant among their huts in a jungle setting filled with a sea of aromatic smoke from fires fulled by - among other things - coconut shells. All in attendance, both men and women, are in a mesmerising trance during the September 11 ceremony.Some men are seen so deep in the state they are able to stab the keris into their own chests without so much as a whimper, while priests prepare offerings to their deities and those local who are no longer with them.  Selumbung has a population of about 3,000 residents and is found in the sparsely populated east of Bali, where laid-back coastal villages can be found far from party central Kuta in the south.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.Az
