Indonesia has a variety of local wisdom to prevent or fight epidemics. This ritual is not just incantations and prayers but in the form of dances and poetry which are still preserved today. The Sang Hyang Dedari dance combines dance and chants to drive away reinforcements and ask for the protection of the gods. This dance is very related to what is happening in the world today, a pagebluk that destroys human life. This pandemic is nature's answer to human greed. Only by purifying the heart, nature and knowledge can all these obstacles be overcome together.
