This drawing depicts a dance ritual held in front of the old Agatti mosque’s forecourt after Ramadan prayers
every year.
It is a martial arts dance of the type also found in Bali (the old Bali) village of
Tenganan in East Bali,
and in the Muslim villages of West Lombok in Indonesia. The courtyard scene in this drawing has
a remarkably
South East Asian feeling, in the setting and the atmosphere portrayed.
