Balinese officials are on the hunt for a man who was filmed meditating naked at a Hindu temple, with his indecent act infuriating locals.
The clip gained widespread attention after it was posted by community group “canggu_bali” and then reported by influencer and Balinese shoe designer Ni Luh Djelantik.
Djelantik shared several posts about the incident with one that included text that read: “This video has gone viral. But sadly not in a positive way. Let me give you some context before you judge me. “So when others say I am meditating naked at a holy site, I want to let you know that they are wrong. I am actually meditating naked on MY OWN GOD DAMN LAND.The foreign national has been identified by authorities but his name and nationality have not been publicly disclosed as the search continues.“We are in coordination with the Directorate of Intel and Security of the Bali Regional Police,” Denpasar Immigration head Tedy Riyandi said on Tuesday, according to Antara news agency.
Other measures in Bali’s crackdown on foreigners have included establishing a hotline for anyone to dob in misbehaving tourists, as well as a special task force to monitor foreigners’ activities , and a tourist tax.
