Many
local and foreign travelers make the trek for
the mystical experience of watching the sun rise
from the crest of the Promo volcano. A pony ride
from the village of Ngadisari takes you over a
sea of sand to the foot of the volcano. Ascend
die 50 steps to reach the rim. On the vast expanse
of sands, formerly a caldera, there are two volcanoes:
the extinct Batok, which is a perfect cone and
Bromo. Volcanic sulphur fumes and smoke still
emanate from the depths, and when the God of Bromo
begins to rumble, the surrounding population quickly
bring their offerings. The annual offering ceremony
of Kasada is held on the 14th day of Kasada, the
twelfth month in the Tenggerese calendar year.
It is a dazzling event where villagers from the
surrounding areas bring their humble offerings
to the holy volcano.
