Rangda the witch is passing the crowd

The figure of the witch called Rangda is also let thre times around the temples inner complex. No normal citizen should try to touch Rangda, only high priests and people in the Brahma casta.
The people are believing that touching Rangda brings evil to themself and their relatives.

Eight years before when I was joining the Pengerebongan festival on the same place, I came very close to Rangda and nealy had a problem not to touch her.

Rangda is the demon queen of the Leyaks in Bali, according to traditional Balinese mythology. Terrifying to behold, the child-eating Rangda leads an army of evil witches against the leader of the forces of good — Barong. The battle between Barong and Rangda is featured in a Barong dance which represents the eternal battle between good and evil.
