#pendet

Pendet Dance is kind of welcome dance that performed by a group of young women, each of dancers carrying a silver bowl containing colorful flowers. And at the end of the dance, the dancers sprinkle the flowers that they bring to the audience or guests who are welcomed as a welcome greeting.

  At first, Pendet Dance used as a complement of piodalan ceremony at the temples or family shrine, as a symbol of gratitude, respect, and joy while welcoming the presence of the gods who descend from heaven.

The initiator of Pendet Dance are the two artists who were born in Sumerta Village, Denpasar. They are I Wayan Rindi and Ni Ketut Reneng.
