The ceremony goes back to the legend of Roro Anteng and Joko Seger, a childless couple who prayed for children and promised their youngest to the volcano. Human sacrifice is long gone. What remains is the custom of taking the harvest up the mountain every year.","The rite falls on the 14th or 15th of Kasada in the Tengger calendar, so the Gregorian date shifts.

Only residents taking part in Yadnya Kasada, rangers and clean-up crews were allowed in. The closure followed a circular from the Tengger council of priests, the Paruman Dukun Pandita. The whole of 2 June was kept for clearing up after the rite.

Most trips start from **Probolinggo** or **Malang**, with a night below the mountain and a start before dawn. To reach the crater rim you cross the sand sea at the foot of the volcano and then climb a slope of volcanic ash."},{"heading":"Cold and effort","body":"Ordinary visitors cannot reach the crater area during the ceremony, so any Bromo trip has to fall outside the closure. It means a pre-dawn start at altitude in cold wind, strong sulphur at the rim and loose volcanic sand underfoot. Bring a heavy jacket, hat, gloves and a mask. Bromo is an active volcano, so keep back from the rim where there is no railing."},{"heading":"Offerings at the crater rim","body":"(This describes the ritual itself. During the ceremony the crater area is open only to residents taking part.)\n\nThe rite is led by Tengger priests (dukun) at Pura Luhur Poten from the night before into the early morning. Near dawn the procession carries the offerings to the crater rim and casts crops, livestock and other offerings into the crater. A news photo in the RRI report on the closure is captioned with residents at the rim catching the offerings as they are thrown."},{"heading":"Etiquette","body":"Yadnya Kasada is a Tengger religious ceremony, not an event put on for visitors.
