Celebrated annually by Sasak Wetu Telus and Balinese Hindus, Perang Topat is a religious ceremony that offers thanks to God for fertile soils and abundant crops. It's also used to ask for prosperity in the coming year. As a symbol of the good crops, participants assemble in Lingsar Park to throw "tapat" (steamed rice cakes wrapped in plaited coconut leaves) at one another.
