The Eka Dasa Rudra is a purification festival in Bali, also known as the Eleven Powers ceremony, celebrated once every century. Religion is of primary importance to the Balinese, whose beliefs are influenced by Hinduism and Buddhism. In this ancient ritual, priests seek a rebalancing of the powers of good and evil, with the support and participation of the entire populace. The Eleven Powers was produced by Larry Gartenstein, narrated by Orson Welles, and received the Gold Medal in the International Film & Video Festival in 1984.
