A cow, 5 months pregnant, was towed out to sea and left to drown because she'd been caught "red-handed" having sexual intercourse with a village elder. The villagers believe the cow was impregated by the man. He also joined the boat trip in order to throw away his clothes, which symbolises him discarding his sins.
The ritual, called gamya gamana, or freak wedding, has been conducted in Buleleng for generations.
