panyembramaThese dances are performed as a welcome to the visiting gods, which are presented with offerings of flowers. Nowadays, the showering of flowers is also addressed to the tourists. During the dance, the flowers are scattered over the guest or audience as an expression of welcome.

The Panyembrama has taken many of its movements from temple dances, such as the Rejang Dance, Pendet and Gabor, which are considered sacred and performed exclusively for God.
