Tenggerese people
The Tenggerese people are an indigenous ethnic group residing in the mountainous region of East Java, Indonesia. They are known for their unique culture, which blends elements of Hinduism and Buddhism with local traditions. The Tenggerese primarily speak the Javanese language and are recognized for their agricultural practices, particularly in cultivating rice and vegetables.
One of the most notable aspects of Tenggerese culture is the annual Yadnya Kasada festival, where they offer sacrifices to the Mount Bromo volcano, which they consider sacred. This event attracts many visitors and showcases their rich cultural heritage, including traditional music, dance, and rituals.
