PROBOLINGGO, EAST JAVA, INDONESIA - August 11, 2014 : Tenggerese gather at crater of Mount Bromo during the Yadnya Kasada Festival on August 11, 2014 in Probolinggo, East Java, Indonesia. The Tenggerese people are a Javanese ethnic group in Eastern Java who claim to be the descendants of the Majapahit princes. The origin of the festival lies in the 15th century princess named Roro, the principality of Tengger with her husband Joko Seger, and the childless couple asked the mountain Gods to help in bearing children. The legend says the Gods granted them 24 children but on the provision that the 25th must be added to the volcano in sacrifice.
