Metatah(The Teeth Filling)





Have you ever experienced one of the weirdest tradition on earth? Well, in Indonesia there is a ritual that is expected from Balinese Hindus that they should have some of their teeth filled. I think that they should do this ritual because it marks the passage from childhood to adulthood. Balinese Hindus also believe that if they do this ritual then it will cleanse the evil from their body. To the Balinese Hindus their teeth are the symbol of lust, greed, anger, and jealousy. Now you know how different the culture is in South Asia. Do you think that these people would use pain medicine?
