Most famous is the TEKTEKAN dance. The whole group goes into trance. Probably the name of the dance derives form the sound that the orchestra is making: Tek .. tek.. tek. Images and sound are fascinating. Magical. Nobody is wounded because of the holy water of the Kahyangan Temple, its immunity was a gift of Batara Durga. The krisses, made of steel are not going inside the bodies, but get even bended when touching the bodies of the men in trance.
