Peace Event Kicks-Off in Bali, Indonesia

DateSunday, October 17, 2010 at 12:21PM

Thousands of people took part in the event ‘Echoes of Love and Peace 2010’ in Bali on Tuesday. All the participants took part in a procession, called the ‘Padayatra’.


[Ir. Ketut Darmika, Committee Chairman]:
"The purpose of this event is to promote peace, to create a gathering place for young people, and for the future generations to awaken spiritually.”

Balinese and Indian dance performances entertained the crowd.

The event was attended by various social groups in society, including religious figures, the governor of Bali and the former governor of Jakarta.

Prominent guests lit torches, released birds and everyone else lit candles as a symbol of peace.

Echoes of Love and Peace has been held since 2002, a response to the first Bali bombing tragedy.
