About Pasola

Pasola is a mounted lance battling rivalry from western Sumba, Indonesia. It is played by tossing wooden lances at the adversary while riding a steed to praise the rice-planting season. The word pasola implies skewer in the nearby dialect and gets from the Sanskrit sula. As indicated by legend, pasola started with a lady from the town of Waiwuang. At the point when her significant other – a nearby pioneer – left home for a broadened period, she trusted him to be dead and ran off with another sweetheart from another town. After her significant other restored, the lady still remained with her new sweetheart, and the two were hitched. To overlook their pioneer's misery, the general population of Waiwuang held the celebration of pasola.

Initially the members rode steeds and tossed lances at each other trying to spill blood to the ground, as a method for expressing gratitude toward the precursors for an effective gather and guaranteeing another prosperous rice collect. The custom changed after some time into all the more a ridicule fight. The lance tips are currently limit and their metal tips expelled. While it was once viewed as a respect to pass on amid pasola, just inadvertent passings every so often happen today. The human and stallion blood which used to soak the field is currently exclusively from yielded pigs, mutts, and chickens. Equipped police are kept on watch to keep battles from breaking out. Starting in the 2010s, pasola has been advanced as an "amusement" for going by onlookers.
