Balinese keris ritual

When a ritual is used with a newly made keris it is in most cases the Pasupati ritual that sanctifies the keris. I've said "most cases" because this is the ritual that seems to be most common, but I believe some individual people might use personal rituals.

Then there are the recurring rituals take place on Tumpek Landep.

I do not believe that this forum is the correct place to go into detailed descriptions & explanations in respect of these rituals, but there is plenty of information about them in the public arena.

Weiner might be a good place to start, and there is probably a heap of info online as well.
