JEPARA, Indonesia, June 7 (Xinhua) -- People enjoyed a traditional torch war at Tegalsambi village in Jepara, Central Java, Indonesia with flying flames shining like scattered stars.

This tradition is marked by lighting the fronds of dried coconut and bananas. The participants swing away the torch at each other, believing that the flame could bring health.
