En: At the foot of the majestic Mount Bromo, the Tengger village was busy preparing for the Yadnya Kasada Festival.
Id: Sinar matahari musim panas menerangi sawah-sawah hijau yang luas.
En: The summer sunlight shone on the vast green fields.
Id: Suara gamelan mengalun merdu, sementara aroma dupa mengisi udara.
En: The sweet sound of gamelan music echoed, while the scent of incense filled the air.
