Balinese villagers battle using thorny pandanus leaves and rattan shields during the annual Perang Pandan (Pandanus War) event in Tenganan village, Karangasem-Bali island, June 8, 2012. Although their bodies are splattered with blood, the men are proud as they believe they have made a sacrifice to the gods, to balance the human body and the universe.
