Have you ever heard about this “mountain” (actually is a volcano) ?
The first time I heard about this Volcano was in a documental and to me was so awesome, I have sort attraction to the Mysterious places, but also the beauty places, and Bromo mountain mixed that time both of them. Just look the picture and you will know what I am talking about.
Located in the East Java (Indonesia) is part of a National park (Bromo Tenger Semeru) higher than 2 KM (2329 m) it is maybe not the higher in the region but is maybe the most representative.
The name “Bromo” came from the pronunciation “Brahma” a Hindu god.
For sure is a touristic place but depends how much it is active to visit it because is an active volcano yet. the last time was reported an eruption it was jan 23 2011, (Check the left image) so even when is still a touristic place people must be careful because we must remember a Volcano can explode and doesn’t worry about who is in there xD.
Yadnya Kasada ceremony
Actually as is usually with sacred places there is an Story associated to, abou this mountain we have the “Yadnya Kasada” 
The legend says that a princess named Roro and her husband Joko could never give birth a child so this reason they asked for help to the mountain gods. and they were blessed with 24 children but the 25 child had to be thrown in the mountain as sacrifice.
This legend gave birth to the tradition in where each fourteen day of the Hindu festival of Yadnya Kasada, people travels to the top of the mountain to offer fruits, vegetables, flowers etc.
The Bromo mountain looks imposing if you have the opportunity to visit it. do it. have a nice Thursday !!!
