Bromo has never lost its charm, because of its different and unique shape. The shape of this mountain is intertwined between valleys and canyons with caldera or sea of sand covering an area of 10 square kilometers. Bromo has a crater with a diameter of approximately 800 m (north-south) and 600 m (east-west). The Tengger Tribe used to carry out Kasodo ceremonies on this mountain.
The Kasodo Ceremony is a ritual for invoking abundant harvests or asking for repudiation and recovery from various diseases, by offerings and throwing Sesajen/Sajen (a kind of offering to a god or ancestor at a traditional ceremony among adherents of ancient beliefs in Indonesia : flower arrangements and fragrant leaves such as jasmine and pandanus leaves, then fruits and food) into the crater of Mount Bromo. This ceremony is held once a year.
