| Perang Topat: Held annually around November-December between a group of Hindu followers and Moslem Wektu Telu followers at Lingsar. Perang literally means "War" and Topat is a kind of dish made out of cooked rice wrapped in woven young coconut leaves. You may have now guessed what this all means: a national food fight! Bau Nyale: An annual ceremony related to the legend of Princess Mandalika. Held at Lombok's Kuta Beach, this event is a courtship ceremony where young men and women gather merrily along the beach to collect Nyale Fish (a kind of sea-worm), teasing and flirting with each other. Gandrung Dance: Performed usually by a young woman in wedding parties or other celebratory occasions. A lucky man can be invited to join her if she so chooses by tapping him with the tip of her fan. Presian Dance: Folk war dance where young men duel with rattan sticks and shields made out of cow leather. An orchestra provides the musical background. Gendang Beleg Dance: Another war dance typically used to welcome or send off soldiers from or to the battleground. While dancing, the dancer will also skilfully play the gendang (drum). Rudat Dance: Performed sitting down by young men while singing rhythmic religious chants of Islamic teachings.
