BALINEWSID.COM, DENPASAR – The Indonesian Islamic Da’wah Institute (LDII) of Bali distributed more than 10,000 qurban meat packages to communities across Bali during the Eid al-Adha 1447 Hijri celebration on Wednesday (May 27, 2026). The distribution was carried out in the spirit of Bali’s traditional “Ngejot” culture of sharing and used environmentally friendly packaging without plastic.

LDII Bali Chairman Haji Olih Sholihat Karso said the qurban meat was distributed to people in need regardless of ethnicity, religion, race, or social background. He emphasized that the program reflected the organization’s commitment to humanity and social solidarity.

“We distribute qurban meat without discriminating against ethnicity, religion, race, or any group. We sincerely believe that if we are able to eat meat today, then our brothers and sisters in need should also enjoy it. We share through the Balinese tradition known as Ngejot Bali,” he said.

A total of 149 cows and 287 goats were sacrificed and distributed across seven regencies and cities in Bali, namely Denpasar, Badung, Tabanan, Gianyar, Karangasem, Buleleng, and Jembrana.

Denpasar recorded the highest number of sacrificial animals, with 77 cows and 163 goats. Of those, 15 cows and 36 goats were slaughtered at the LDII Bali Office.

Olih stated that all sacrificial animals had undergone physical inspections by veterinary teams and were declared fit for consumption before distribution.

“We distribute the meat to everyone in need who has been registered. All sacrificial animals have passed veterinary examinations and are declared safe for consumption,” he added.

The ceremonial opening at the LDII Bali Office was attended by Penglingsir Puri Grenceng Denpasar and Chairman of the Hindu-Muslim Brotherhood of Bali, Anak Agung Ngurah Agung. Puri Grenceng also contributed sacrificial animals for Muslims celebrating Eid al-Adha.

He said Hindus and Muslims in Bali have long lived side by side in harmony and mutual respect.

“Hindus and Muslims in Bali are like one family. We have lived together peacefully for generations, and from the bottom of our hearts we would like to convey our greetings for Eid al-Adha,” he said.

In addition to promoting tolerance and social unity, LDII Bali also adopted an environmentally friendly approach in distributing the meat. Thousands of meat packages were packed using woven bamboo containers and leaf wrappings instead of plastic bags.
