Every religion in Indonesia has unique ritual to celebrate their sacred day, a ritual which involved many people and many unique types of equipment. The ritual was placed on a big square, named as Tawur Agung ritual, a hindunese sacred ritual to clean up body and soul before meditation in Nyepi ritual. Hundreds people came from Yogyakarta and Jawa Tengah, wearing their unique clothes, bringing many sacred offerings and flowers, praying to the God together in front of Candi Prambanan.
The best shot during the ritual, is using both of tele and wide lens. You can use wide to get best ritual landscape and tele to get portrait and details. The ritual property was dominated on color, so you may use color image to document the ceremony.
